Springtime
Title:  Springtime
Description:  Flanger power is also used for local freights. The icicle breakers are stowed. A bit of snow left near the tire shop retaining wall. The blue building behind 4840 is the Truckee Hotel. It had a great bar and food. You could watch trains from the bar windows as they pounded the crossing on their way west or east. Susanna Banana was my favorite bartender there. We almost had a thing...
