California Zephyr, Day 3
Reno, Nevada
Incredibly, as recently as 2005, the railroad through Reno crossed eleven downtown streets on the level -

California 2012 itinerary

San Francisco – Oakland Bay Bridge
The massive pillar behind which the sun is rising looked to me like a late addition but it is part of the original design. Cables-wise the structure is two separate suspension bridges and this pillar, called the Center Anchorage corresponds to the land side anchorages at either end.
