We are welcomed and about to cross under Williamson Valley Road.  The GCL is at milepost 45 with a siding ahead and a waiting BNSF stack train.

   

   

   

The route from here to Skull Valley gets more rural.

The sweeping curve into Skull Valley holds a new adventure for the people on the ground.  We have our official "welcome wagon" number 93.  The official BNSF location is East Skull Valley where the GCL makes a brief stop.

   

   

The fire in the nearby mountains was still burning.
