Remarks & Notes

Comstock Dawn - Golden light at Gold Hill. Just minutes after sunrise, V&T Locomotive #29 and her short freight leave the wide-open spaces of American Flat behind and enter the hillside mining community of Gold Hill. In the distance are the rugged, snow-covered peaks of the High Sierra. The train is passing the Overman Pit, an open pit mine which was excavated after the original V&T Virginia City Branch was dismantled in 1941. This location is at about MP 49.4. From here, the 2.2% average grade relaxes for just about half a mile as the railroad crosses the Crown Point Fill, reaching Gold Hill Depot at MP 50.1, where the steep grades of the final climb to Virginia City begin in earnest.

Landscape photography is difficult due to the challenge of combining good light and good scenery. Good railroad photography enters another level of complexity since it requires the first two while there is a train in view.
