Mount Hood Railroad
To follow up on the previous post, here are some images taken of the Mount Hood Railroad, in Hood River, Oregon. It originally operated between 1906, when it was built, and 1987. At that time it was purchased and transitioned to primarily a tourist operation.
The railroad is one of the few that still utilize switch-backs. The station dates from 1911, built by the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company, a subsidiary of the Union Pacific. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places. The GP9 seems to have been built for the Chesapeake & Ohio in 1957.
