Trip to the West Coast, Part I: Union Pacific Steam

The early portion of a trip to the west coast of the United States in spring 2009 focused on following and riding the Union Pacific "Western Heritage Express" between Roseville, California and Winnemucca, Nevada via the former Western Pacific route through the Feather River Canyon between 29-April and 5-May-2009.  The experience included riding the train from Portola, California to Winnemucca where the steam locomotive was unassisted and ran at 70 mph.
