Making the best of it
Title:  Making the best of it
Description:  The impressive Columbia River gorge has plenty of rail activity on both sides of the river. Aside from the obvious benefit of such traffic density, it can be frustrating when waiting upon activity on one side of the river to view what one is missing across the water. Such is the case at Biggs, OR as I wait for approaching UP traffic as an SD-70MAC heads a nice eastbound BNSF manifest cruising up the valley. But it is still a pretty sight.

BNSF 1779
Title:  BNSF 1779
Description:  BNSF 1779, out of the money in fourth place of the quad set headed east out of Vancouver... with a little "NSF" stamped below the registry number on her long hood end - funny that someone called her ahead of time (fourth place & not on the finishing board). Heres hoping she finds a good home if shes off to another yard (or has a safe return if shes actually pulling due to BNSF power shortage).
