First of 2024. - a photo on Flickriver

First of 2024.

            On a previous road trip to Union Pacific's Cascade Sub in Central Oregon, I took the longer, more pleasing scenery route through the central part of the state as I drove my way south from Washington. Almost paralleling BNSF's Oregon Trunk Subdivision the greater part of the way, I had my eyes on one of two southbound trains that were going to run this day towards Bend, Oregon. By the time they climbed out of the Deschutes River Canyon, the low winter light was starting to set and was causing location choices to become more challenging for me as this crew had a work event to pick up cars at Metolius, Oregon, just north of here. Not thinking they would make it past Metolius till well after sundown, I took a break from driving and stopped at the well known Crooked River Bridge to take a walk and enjoy the recent snowfall in the area, along with the setting sun. With a chime over the radio from the Stampede sub dispatcher (who runs this route, along with three others currently) they were told to highball the pickup at Metolius and continue on to Bend to tie down till a Klamath Falls crew was rested to take it farther south. Skipping this event gave me good timing with a nice snow setting that I have not seen too often on this route. At least north of Bend at the lower elevations.
