It always amazes me how fast Larry runs when he is on the train. He is able to get the shots of the whole train and get back on.

I love when you two travel because you take us all with you via pics and recap. Thanks for sharing Larry.

 

Sorry for taking so long to post our photos, but things have been a bit hectic.

Anyway, Wendy and I were also able to go on this amazing train ride as guests of Larry and Debbie. We joined Larry, Debbie, Paul and Elizabeth in The Dalles. The photos are not as good as Paul’s or Larry’s but offer a little different perspective.

Thanks Larry and Debbie for this wonderful opportunity.

Chasing the train.....it's a long story.....


I'm not sure I have ever seen the Columbia so smooth.


Rounding the bend on the Columbia.


A common sight was all the people and cars parked along side the road photographing the train.




Another common sight were all the cars pacing the train causing a bit of a traffic jam.


Paul refueling.

844 in the Albina Yard getting a well deserved rest.

 

Here are a couple of shots of us leaving Hermiston that morning:






And of Arnie and Wendy at "the window":

 

Wow those are some great shots, Arnie!

 

Thanks Paul. I figure if I take enough shots I'm bound to get a couple of keepers.
