IF--IF--IF this fire stil requires an Oregon Trunk Railroad closure on sunday morning 6-25-17 the
ONLY route home for SP 4449 would be via BEND OR southward to CHEMULT- ON to SP-UP-Cascade Summit--Oakridge--Eugene--ALbany--Salem to Portland OR.
This special train HAS to be MOVING in one direction of the other in the morning to get HOME.
Time will tell what happens in the morning, sleep well folks.

The geometry train just went by Bend northbound at 6:15 AM, so looks like traffic is still getting through.

Geometry train? Ooh. Which way is it headed? In other words, will it turn west at Wishram towards Vancouver or east towards Pasco?

Belated report (since I don't Smartphone) but listening to Oregon Trunk dispatcher's conversations earlier in the day, it was probably BNSF 7602? 7206? It headed east toward Pasco. It was past Maupin by the time SP 4449 was ready to depart Bend.
