That is a nice shot. I do miss the poles now and then. It was such a part of railroading "back then". These poles seem tired.
I have been to the PNW many times, but the Volcanoes still remind me of the styrofoam mountains on the old toy trains. I will just put this mountain, uh, here.
 
Dreaming of cooler days

Hang in there. "Only" a little over two months to go.

When people ask me if I am going anywhere for summer vacation, I tell them "no". The Puget Sound Region has the best summers in the US. Everywhere else is hot and/or humid.

I hear that. I never complained about the weather while i lived up that way. I always look forward to fall here as that is when the raptors return, and it is not so hot waiting trackside for the trains to show.
 
No wildfires at your usual spots?
Not in the Bay Area, but the smoke here is so bad you can hardly see more than a half mile. The nearest fire to here is in Mendocino/Lake counties about 80 miles to the north. There have been a few grass fires nearby that have been quickly dealt with luckily. Here is a shot from right by the UP tracks in Hercules showing the smoke (last week, about 70 miles to the north).
