Approaching Haywards Siding
The Virginia & Truckee Railroad's Consolidation #29 slows her speed as she approaches Haywards Siding at Milepost 45.0, with a short, northbound passenger train. Historically, there was an 875 ft. passing siding here to allow north and southbound trains to pass each other and that siding has been recreated with the reconstruction of the present-day railroad. This location is also a spectacular spot from which to photograph trains as it offers a commanding view of the valley to the east.
This image was captured during a February 2012 photo shoot on Nevada's reconstructed Virginia & Truckee Railroad, which was organized by Lerro Photography.
