Western Railroad Discussion > Location?Date: 07/03/02 22:53 Location? Author: robjacox Was going through some photos of mine, and thought this would make an interesting "Where is it?".
The date is January 8, 1995. Date: 07/03/02 22:59 Re: Location? Author: Goatboat Looks like Amtrak 14 detouring through Bend. Where did the SP go in the ditch?

Date: 07/04/02 15:47 Yes, Bend, OR Author: robjacox Only time I've seen the Starlight come through Bend, lived here since mid-1994.
At the time I was living within sight of the tracks, and was watching the 49ers (my team) play a playoff game, I heard a train, and looked up to see Amtrak drifting into town. Needless to say, that's all it took to get me away from the game. I do not recall who they were playing, or if they won or lost the game. I think the SP dumped a load of TOFC trailers between Crescent Lake and Chemult the night before, I had railfanned at Crescent Lake on New Year's Day. Rob |
