Location / Name
Transcontinental25. Truckee.-On the Southern Pacific near the point where Lake Tahoe Railway joins the Southern Pacific from the south. Two and a half miles to the northwest of the Truckee lies a very good summertime emergency landing field. All approaches are clear and a space available for landing 600 by 2,000 feet. A big boulder painted white stands on the northwest side of the field and beside it is a white wind indicator. This field is to be avoided in winter, as snow gathers on it to a frequent depth of 4 feet. Soon after passing Turckee the Sierras are crossed. On the direct course 10,000 feet will clear the highest peak. but an altitude of 15,000 feet should be maintained. The Southern Pacific Railroad tracks veer to the west and north and from here on to Sacramento are at a varying distance of 5 to 20 miles north and west of the course. Night Airmail
