The three sister locomotives, 5257, 5296, and 5259, pull a manifest freight toward Portland with two of the Three Sisters of the High Cascades in the background.

Photo 3: is it my old, tired eyes, or is that a nasty dip in the track adjacent to the signal? b_t Date: 01/10/17 07:55 Re: Post-Christmas trains Author: CBRL There is a dip in the tracks, but it is accentuated by the long telephoto shot that compresses distance, so not as scary a dip as it looks!
