Wow, that was a real shot in the dark. I thought that building in the background with the angled roof looked vaguely familiar so I took a guess.

Is the Older Guy in the Shorts a Reno 911 Cop looking to Buist Someone on the next Zephyr??? :giggle:

He's wearing an Amtrak cap! He's not police!

The older guy in shorts? Probably the Mayor of Winnemuca, observing Winnemuca's twice daily thrill the CZ coming through town. The guy in the Amtrak cap...our conductor.

Yes - that would narrow the choices down a bit. There are enough other clues that will enable a sharp-eyed Amtrak afficianado to get this one.
