Cattails and containers
Title:  Cattails and containers
Description:  This scene reminds me of Bealville, CA by the manner in which the railroad comes down off Telocaset hill in the background (the grade is just above the level of the containers and pole lines). Albeit not as steep an incline or as compressed geographically, this segment of railroad is quite an arduous route itself. UP 4584 brings an intermodal into the mountain valley at Union Jct., OR and past a classic CTC installation.

Just right

Description:  I rode from Sandpoint, ID (huge run of trains after dark) over to Rock Island, WA to see the trestle within a trestle but came up snake eyes on trains. So I headed for the Columbia gorge around Wishram and spent the night at one of the better motel bargains - Dintys for some $42 a night, clean and right near the UP. Next morning I am sipping coffee, marveling at how good the lighting is for a train, if one were to show. Voila! here comes UP 7353 East to start off a good morning of activity.
