Beautiful. The Scotsman featured here on TV recently.

Curious what the two large piers are on left of photo?
Odd construction unless they house something.

I see 2 piers collapsed during construction.

I think it is to make the viaduct looks as if it is part of the abbey which is just a few yards away.

I noticed the rather ecclesiastical appearance to the arches and design. Makes senses

It was pushing 90, so there is some heat distortion here, but wow, 8 engines, 5 different paint jobs, two different railroads plus a leased unit.

8 locomotives? Most I've ever seen is 4. How long was the train?

Train was average length for these parts, usually less than 5000 feet, as that the length of most of the sidings are out here. What happens though is the incoming trains (west bound) tend to be larger than the outgoing (east bound) (not to mention the daily UPS inbound is a high priority "Z" train, so there are usually five engines on that one regardless of length), so both Richmond Yard and the Port of Oakland end up with more engines than they need, and they send them back on eastbound trains. Here is the same train heading toward the first tunnel on the subdivision in Franklin Canyon (Martinez California)

Just a train ...

Just another normal regular kind of day, nothing much happening -- except for Union Pacific #4014 "Big Boy" just happens to pass 350 feet away from my house.
