The eastbound Overland Mail stops at Montello, Nevada back in the days when the railroads had a mail contract and long mail and express trains like this were common. In addition to handling the mail and express, these trains typically made stops at most of the the little towns that the "name" trains missed. The coach on the rear was for the flagman, and another coach in the middle of the train handled the revenue passengers. August, 1966

The one where I take two pictures behind the house after it rained

3 Marzo 2018 - Il tempo era uggioso, c’era la nebbia ed era freddo: le condizioni ideali per fare delle foto come piacciono a me. L’estate è alle porte e prima di rimpiangere queste condizioni climatiche idilliache, ho messo su il 18-135 sulla Pentax e sono uscito a fare qualche scatto, percorrendo strade non ancora asflatate.

March 3rd, 2018 - The weather was gloomy, there was fog and it was cold: the ideal conditions for taking pictures as I like them. Summer is coming and before regretting these idyllic weather conditions, I put on 18-135 on Pentax and I went out to do some shots, along roads not yet flattened.

Photos taken with my Pentax and goal 18-135; developed on my Mac with Lightroom installed.

Montello, Nevada

Here we have a Union Pacific container train racing eastward through the dusty but wonderful small town of Montello, Nevada.

The Central Pacific built through here in 1869 on its way to Promontory Summit. The line was then taken over by the Southern Pacific in 1885, and became part of the Union Pacific in 1996.
