Calm before the Foam

By: Jack Boerner


Description

Calm before the Foam - A mere hour and a half before the CHP blocks off access to Emigrant Gap to the largest crowd it's seen in a long time, Amtrak train 6 makes it way east. This train had actually been following the 4014 excursion out of Roseville. When the incident we all know too well happened, they leap-frogged ahead on the original #1 track.
