Steam & Excursion > A Stop At The Depot For Orders Before Tying On To Her Train!Date: 10/10/20 03:15 A Stop At The Depot For Orders Before Tying On To Her Train! Author: LoggerHogger It's June, 1948 and the SP&S is still steam powered on the Oregon Trunk. Here we see SP&S 2-8-0 #363 stopped at the depot in Bend, Oregon so her crew can pick up their orders before they tie onto their train for their next trip north to make their connection at Wishram, Washington, just across the Columbia River.
#363 shows the dirt and grime of many prior trips on the Trunk along the Deschutes River. Perhaps when she gets to the shops at Wishram, they might give her a bath. Martin Edited 1 time(s).
