Points of interest on the 1871 railway from Chicago to Sacramento.

So last month I finished 2,267 rail miles (by road) from the Loop in downtown Chicago to Central Pacific's Milepost Zero by the Sacramento River - following the route of the original transcontinental railway. It took 11 days.

Here's day one reduced to the small screen.

#trains I remember these locomotives from when I was at intermediate school - back in a kinder, mor gentle time historians like to call the early 1980s.

Today, they're in excursion service - and very dangerous.
