Two Amtrak trains in Eugene OR
Author: coosbaytoday

Saw these two in Eugene OR today, October 22, 2014.
First is the #508(?) getting ready to go on their way to Albany OR and points north.
Then #11 arriving, heading for Klamath Falls OR and cities to the south.
The two were only about 30 minutes apart.

What's all that shiny stuff on the pavement Todd? We don't have that here sunny in SoCal.

I had my finger on the "back" button just in case one of the two Amtrak
trains was the cab car of the Talgo!

Whew!

It was raining in Eugene, but I repeat myself.

508 is now 2 hours late and has not made it to Tacoma!

Vancouver Terminal is a mess: trains standing all over the place, including a few Amtraks yesterday [Wednesday].

Nice photos in the rain. After all, everyone knows that if life gives you water, add lemon juice and sugar! ;-)
Why was there a UP unit on the Talgo? Was it because of engine trouble? It seems like I miss all the good stuff!

Guessing also they had engine problems is why they added the UP locomotive. That is why we went to the depot to see it. Western Oregon has been getting some rain lately, a good thing. And here is a picture of the other end of the Talgo set. See if your back button works now!!

That ain't rain, just liquid Oregon sunshine!

Oregon, the land of sunshine,
where it never, never rains,
where the people swim down Main
St., even deep sea fish complain.
Take me back to old Ohio where its
always, always bright and you don't
need a life preserver when you go
to bed at night!

That big blue engine caught on fire when they started it up in the yard.
