Western Railroad Discussion > NOMO's NW Vacation - The rest of the story

Vacation is over! I'm back in Fort Worth and back to work for a week. I finally got the photos downloaded and ready to share.

My wife and I spent 4 days at the Oregon Coast and then she had to go home. I got to stay 6 more days and did a little foaming in western Oregon & Washington.

Here are the photos from my trip.

Friday 8/15 -

Spent this day between Tacoma, WA & Vancouver, WA. I dispatch this territory, and it's always fun to see the actual activity on it.

1. SB UP freight at Steilacoom, WA

2. NP Depot still there

Really nice series of photos.

Nomo,

Picture #14 with the BNSF #6542 is a Northbound baretable.. My guess would be the B-OIGTAC/SEA train with two units...

Otherwise, a nice variety of photos of your sights and sounds in the PNW...


SP8100

My ooops! I corrected it. I think the train was a B OIGSEA if my memory is correct.

You don't know the half of it.

Rub it in! See how you are.

Actually, I am planning to move back to Portland when I retire in 3 years.
