Thirty-One Years Later I took a picture of Naomi in this spot (within a meter or two) in 1993 so yesterday when the chance arose, I took another picture of her in the same spot, thirty-one years later.

This is a replica of Sutter's sawmill where gold was discovered in 1848 in Coloma.

Happy Naomi Naomi posing in Coloma at the Gold Discovery Park yesterday. She was very happy to be feeling well and to enjoy a nice day trip.

Waiting on the Big Boy Little Boy waiting patiently in Colfax, California for UP 4014 &quot;Big Boy&quot; steam locomotive. He had to wait some time because 4014 hit a tree on the tracks and broke its cylinder cock which delayed it for 3 hours.

Sadly, I couldn't wait for it, but I hope that he did.

Union Pacific Business Car Fleet The freight cars hauled by the Big Boy on its western travel were swapped for some of the Union Pacific business car fleet. These cars were used for a sold-out passenger trip from Roseville to Sparks the following day. The Big Boy needs to have cars behind it (either freight or passenger) for braking purposes.
