People walk along side an idle train, exploring and enjoying the location that they are in at this temporary train stop.

The passenger-packed train moves along a mountain. The passing landscape is hilly, vast, and dry.

Train comes to a stop at a new location. People are milling about at the train station. A Carson City sign is on a building, and points out neighboring destinations, including Virginia City and Reno. Cars cross the train tracks. Travelers board the idle train.
