Overnight trip to Sacramento via the Western Railway Museum at Rio Vista Junction. Since this was a rare Sunday off, I stopped at WRM for the 11 am trolley ride. They happened to schedule former Portland Traction Co. Kuhlman 4001 for the day's trips.

Then I drove to Sacramento to look for Regional Transit Gillig 2260, this year's holiday bus. RT publishes a list of the routes the coach runs daily during December. On this first day of December, it was scheduled to run the 72, 75, and 78 lines near Mather Airport. Because RT did not show that the bus was in service on its website real time map, I began by following the 72 route from the western terminal at the Watt/Manlove light rail station. At the other end, Mather Field/Mills Station light rail station, I found the 2260. The coach operator told me he had just finished the 78 and would return to Watt Ave. on the 72. Got photos there and at a few points along the route in both directions.

In the evening, I went to West Sacramento for shopping. Took advantage of my location at West Capitol and Harbor to photograph Yolobus routes 42B (counterclockwise) and 42A (clockwise).

The meal is Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers at Watt Ave. and El Camino Ave.

Nikon D5600 (18-140 lens, 35 at night) and Samsung Galaxy A54 5G cameras yielded 109 photos.
