Passenger Trains > Amtrak 184 Leads The Builder Through The Golden Light Zone

The Portland section of the Empire Builder to Chicago rolls along the Columbia River between Bingen, and Dallesport, on Thursday evening. 

Amtrak 40th Anniversary heritage locomotive 184 leads.  

When I was in Portland earlier that day, I thought I spied the 184's distinctive grey nose while the engine was parked at the south end of the depot. But it was far away, and I was in a hurry, so I couldn't be certain. 

Turns out it was, which was a nice treat. We don't see a lot of heritage locomotives on the Builder or Starlight any longer, it seems.

Here is a heritage on the San Joaquin at OKJ the other day.
