A William Henry Jackson Moment by Kendall Collins Via Flickr: The Overland Limited has stopped on a ledge outside of the tunnel on Donner Pass. The passengers can get out and see the view from the ledge as the train prepares for the trip Eastward towards cities like Reno in Nevada before heading to Ogden, Utah. Mr. William Henry Jackson took the time to take a picture of the scene before the train departed from the spot. A fun experiment using a dirt pile, some models and track, and figures from one WHJ photo. I like this all comes together.
