Passenger Trains > Empire Builder Makes One Final Crossing

The Empire Builder from Portland approaches fore the last time the old bridge at Drano Lake along the Columbia River, left, which is slated to be replaced this weekend.

The new bridge, assembled in Vancouver and floated upriver, sits on a barge in the background, poised for installation.

A thick layer of smoke blankets the area.

In the second shot, two workmen discuss the bridge job as the new bridge sits on a barge offshore.
