A Beautiful Day
Title:  A Beautiful Day
Description:  Its a beautiful day in the Columbia River gorge as a westbound double-stacker meets an eastbound waiting its turn at the end of double track. UP 7899 is the rear DPU unit. For some reason UP moved the control point half a mile to the west, thus the now rusting eastbound main to the left of the train.
