Seasons End Last Train
Author: spider1319

Seasonal only excursion train on the former Union Pacific Joseph Branch ended October 26 2024 on a  beautiful sunny day of fall colors. Operated by the Union and Wallowa Couties in norhteast Oregon along the mostly inaccessable Grande Ronde River.. The 2024 season ended with the Eagle Cap Excursion train seen below crossing Looking Glass Creek. The trains will resume next mid May of 2025. Bill Webb

My wife got me a cab ride for my birthday last year.  It's a nice operation and the scenery is great.  The people operating the train seem to be locals who do a wonderful job.  I highly recommend it.

Great stuff Bill!
It's a lot of fun to be involved in the Friends of the Joseph Branch. A very dedicated group of volunteers.

Cute video showing the nice scenery along the line. If I didn't live 3000 miles away I'd consider riding! I'm stuck here with the Strasburg RR, New Hope and Ivyland, Reading and Northern and Lehigh Scenic in my back yard. How terrible is that. I'd also like to ride behind that beautiful Pacific steamer on the Abilene and Smoky Valley out on the billiard table Lance calls home.
Endless bucket list...

Gonut, I hate to break it to you but Kansas is not flat like a billiard table.
