This is our train - pulled by an old Santa Fe GP7.
We are looking west and slightly south.
-
This is another train - or some spare rolling stock.
Looking up the track, east and slightly north.
-
The other side view of our train.
-
The track follows the Grand Ronde RIver.
-
As we travel further east, the river enters a canyon.
-
The hills around the river get steeper and steeper.
-
At times you can see wildlife on the hillside. Deer, Elk, Moose, Bear.
-
It amazes me how they can cling to the hillside.
-
The ride is quite scenic. It would be better on a clear day.
-
This line was preserved by the counties of Union and Wallowa.
The railroad is called the Wallowa Union.
-
This river is excellent for canoeing and rafting.
-
Looking up the canyon wall that is trainside.
-
Wife, Donna, seems to be having a good time, scenery or not.

The End.
