Empire Builder

The Portland Section of Amtrak's Empire Builder is seen here westbound along the Columbia River between Lyle and Bingen, Washington. Just published in Passenger Train Journal, White River Productions: 2023-3, Issue 296.

Inspection Train Within minutes of seeing the Portland section of Amtrak's Empire Builder, this inspection train followed. As in my earlier post of the passenger train, this job is headed westward along the Columbia River between Lyle and Bingen, Washington. The line here is the former Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway—later Burlington Northern and now BNSF. One image by Richard Koenig; taken March 20th 2023.

Reward

After a long wait for any action on either railroad adjacent to the Columbia River, I was finally rewarded with this eastbound stack on the Union Pacific. This line was once the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company with the SP&S on the other side.

The location here, on the Oregon side, is near a rest stop on I-84 that seems to be adjacent to, or part of, Memaloose State Park. In the second and third shots, we are looking eastward toward Lyle, Washington, on the opposite shore of the Columbia River.

Good morning, Oregon!

Another blogger. Why blog? It's a way to remember and catalog my favorite times, I'm tired of emailing photos and like a centralized place I can share them with friends and family, and I frequently use other blogs for inspiration and planning. Here goes!
