More Photos Taken Along The Route... |
Wishram, Washington, now with only the Portland Section of the Train and P42 #58 as our sole power. This photo was taken around an hour after sunrise. |
The Amtrak Station in Wishram, Washington. We had another smoking break here. |
Riding along the Columbia River, that's Mount Hood in the background. Across the river from where we are, is the State of Oregon. |
Another view of Mount Hood. The changing of colors in the foreground from pink-violet to blue was not a Photoshop trick, it was how the glass in the Sightseer Lounge reflected the low-angle sunlight. I opted to leave it in the photo as it gives the photo a somewhat different and cool look. |
The Dalles Dam on the Columbia River. |
Another view of the Columbia River, what a view! |
The morning sunlight on the mountains looks awesome! |
More mountains along the Columbia River. |
Now in Vancouver, Washington, we sit and take another smoking break! |
The Vancouver, Washington Amtrak Station. |
