Now with a full complement of dignitaries aboard, the Canadian Pacific business train continues south on the Marquette Subdivision, toward its eventual destination of Kansas City. The Marquette Sub will become a key component of the merged Canadian Pacific-Kansas City Southern.
I just looked at Gary's street shot and thought I'd throw this one out there. Really odd town Reno, dying yet vibrant. a place in transition for sure. But, they have STEAK N SHAKE!!!!!!! :-)
CPKC train 260 heads south on the Marquette Sub through Reno, with the Strathcona ACU on the head end.
My notes from this trip in 1994 had this down as a 'Reno Local', taken somewhere around Reno. However, I can't locate the exact place on maps.
Reno, Nevada, USA, after sunset, the casino hotels lit in neon colors, it's impossible to find a "legal" parking spot for this viewpoint, but it was very quiet when I visited (late November 2020) and I didn't stay very long, not sure if it was because of Covid, but there were so many signs against parking and the roadside viewpoint was fenced off for no apparent reason. I hope everyone is having a wonderful week.
One of the signature shots in the Powder River Basin is the West Thunder Mine at Reno Jct. Here UP loads head south, about to duck under WY Route 450.
Eldorado Resort Casino Reno is a hotel and casino in Reno, Nevada, owned and operated by Eldorado Resorts.
Don Carano opened the Eldorado in 1973 with 282 guest rooms, two restaurants and 10,000 square feet of gaming space with 200 slots and 12 table games. The Eldorado of 1973 included a lobby, registration area, coffee shop, cocktail lounge, specialty dinner house and gaming area. Also incorporated into the property were a convention room accommodating up to 600 people, a swimming pool and executive suites.
In 1979, the success of the Eldorado Hotel Casino prompted what would be the first of many expansions and improvements. Guestrooms were brought to a total of 411 with a further expansion completed in September 1985 adding 20,000 square feet of gaming area and four new restaurants. By 1989 the Eldorado had grown to 817 hotel rooms and boasted its own on-site bakery, pasta and gelato shop and butcher shop. In 1992, the Eldorado added a 10 story parking garage for added convenience to guests.
The completion of another dramatic transformation for the Eldorado happened in 1995. Coinciding with the construction of the Silver Legacy Resort Casino, a 50/50 joint venture between the Eldorado and MGM Mirage, the Eldorado added a crossover to the new downtown property connected by the first ever micro-brewery in a casino, The Brew Brothers. The exclusive Spa Tower was created, adding 10 floors of luxury accommodations; a 10,175 square foot convention center was opened as well as a 580 seat Broadway-style showroom. A coffee roasting company was added to the list of on-site services and the casino now totaled 76,500 square feet with more than 1,500 slot machines, 55 table games, a keno lounge, full service state-of-the-art race and sportsbook and poker room.

Silver Legacy Resort Casino is a hotel and casino located in Reno, Nevada, opened on July 28, 1995. It anchors a network of connected hotel-casinos in the downtown Reno core that included jointly owned properties Eldorado Hotel Casino and Circus Circus Reno. Silver Legacy is a 50/50 partnership between Eldorado Resorts and MGM Resorts International with MGM holding majority stake at 51%. Eldorado Resorts manages the property.
In 1992. Don Carano, a Reno attorney and CEO/Chairman of the Eldorado Hotel Casino and Clyde Turner, CEO of Circus Circus Enterprises, joined together to design the Silver Legacy. At the time, Las Vegas was growing and overtaking Reno with larger and more lavish casino-hotels. Carano wanted to create a similar, competitive casino-resort. Its cost was projected at $230 Million. On July 22, 1993, the special use permit was approved to go ahead with the construction on land owned by Carano, two city blocks which would link the new resort with Eldorado and Circus Circus.
Carano and Turner announced the official name of the resort on December 15, 1994. Following a citywide competition to name Reno's newest resort in more than a decade, the winning name "Silver Legacy" was chosen. In June 1995, the Nevada Gaming Commission approved the gaming permit for the resort.
Carano's eldest son served as CEO of the property and later on, his next eldest son, Glenn, would join the executive team at the resort. Silver Legacy also made the big screen, first in "Kingpin" in 1996 starring Woody Harlson and Bill Murray showcasing the newest attractions of Reno, the Silver Legacy and the nearby National Bowling Stadium, too completed in 1995. Glenn Carano made a short appearance in the film and many scenes were shot inside the resort. Later, in 2002, Waking up in Reno starring Patrick Swayze and Natasha Richardson, was filmed inside Silver Legacy.

Reno was established right next to the first bridge to cross the Truckee River in the late 1800s

The Fort Reno Chapel sits quietly on the prairie west of El Reno, but its story reaches far beyond Oklahoma. In 1944, German POWs housed at Fort Reno were assigned to build this chapel—shaping stone, laying brick, and crafting the simple, sturdy lines that still define it today.
They worked under U.S. Army supervision, using local materials and traditional craftsmanship, leaving behind a structure that feels both military‑plain and unexpectedly elegant. Eight decades later, the chapel remains one of the most tangible reminders of the POW camp at Fort Reno and the complicated wartime history woven into this part of Indian Territory.

Of course there are many thousands of photos with this iconic Reno, Nevada sign. I like how this one turned out though.
Timetable eastbound on the Reno Branch, the local is south of Reno Junction. The intermodal traffic behind GP35s WP 3015 and UP 785 will be spotted for unloading at Parr yard in North Reno. Today all trailer traffic is unloaded at the former SP Sparks yard, now the originating point for the local which services the truncated south end of the former WP branch. Dave Stanley photo ©2025
Circus Circus, El Dorado and the Silver Legacy Resorts, In the Biggest Little City in the World... Reno, Nevada
Much better if you click here for an immersive interactive view. (Flash needed.)
Fourteenth-floor room at the Sands Regency in Reno. The window was of course inoperable, so I got a table (the golden brown strip at the bottom, which becomes a table when viewed in the fieldofview) as close as I could to the glass. It turns out that I captured a bit of police action (center left of the parking lot). I am glad to report that the occupants of the car were not handcuffed or arrested. But it was a long search and interrogation. Maybe they were the "wrong" ethnicity?
