Sounds like most everyone had FUN today.  Southern Pacific used to run a ‘Fun Train’ from Oakland to Reno for the gambling crowd. It must have been popular, as this is a LONG train. It also climbed thru the scenic Sierra Nevada and Donner Pass. Note the ‘Icicle Breaker’ wires protruding from the  roof of the lead locomotive. These knocked icicles from the tunnel roofs in the mountains.
