Searchlights at Scott
Climbing the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, the Union Pacific 8876 leads a heavy MGRRV past the searchlight signals at Scotts, California. After crossing the vast deserts of Northern Nevada, westbound trains operating along the Winnemucca Subdivision encounter a lengthy climb from Flanigan to Beckwourth Pass. Western Pacific Era searchlight signals still guard many of the sidings along this section of trackage.
