Must be the PTLAT - look at the Columbia & Cowlitz box behind the power. Nice photo.

P.S. Do they still have New Boston Pizza in Hanford? That was a great place to go six or seven years ago...
 
Thanks for the comments. Regarding Hanford; I don't know about Boston Pizza but rather suspect it is still there as Hanford is growing steadily. I know that there is an excellent bakery just east of the Amtrak Depot. Looks like the SJVR may be getting busy as there is a tomato processing plant in Huron that is shipping by rail as well as rumors of LA shipping a daily train of solid waste by container to Huron to be trucked to the Kettleman hills.

Hanford is quite a gem. There is nothing like a turkey sandwich and a chocolate shake for lunch at Superior Dairy on a hot August day!

By the way, in 1997 I rode that goofy Flexliner over the welded rail pulled off the VE after it was installed on the Willamette & Pacific. What a nice ride that was.

Would have liked a little wider framing, the left side is a little "tight".
