It's getting more and more difficult to photograph Beaumont Pass and not have one of the numerous eyesores that decorate the landscape appearing in it. This example was achieved at the site of the old Mons crossovers as a 77 car string of empty autoracks out of Mira Loma descended the hill eastbound on the 13th of last month.
Be of good cheer,

Totally agree BAB, the John Day Dam probably produces more electricity in one day or week than all those bird killing unsightful windmills will in a year or two.
May be a stretch..
