  5. Wicopee, OR

    Wicopee, OR

    A northbound UP manifest drops down the UP's Cascade line and is nicely framed by this SP signal bridge. Dispatcher 68 was nice enough to send us three freights (and Amtrak) down the hill in rapid succession into this beautiful morning light. The rest of the day was a bust, though.

    I don't often like the "going away" shot, but thought this was pretty cool. Not often are the tracks out west straight enough to see two signals in a row. This northbound UP manifest is accelerating down a slight grade after rounding a reduced-speed cruise. In about five miles he will...

    Umli, OR

    Could this be the mosquito capital of the west? My son Sean spent the last four weeks at the Boy Scout's Camp Makualla just down the road. Despite 40% DEET bug spray, he still looks like he has chicken pox. It was all I could do to brave the elements for this shot.
