Talgo 6 Series Deep Six Special (1 of 2)

            Today, the two remaining Talgo 6 trainsets left the Pacific Northwest, bound for scrapping.  I was able to get a couple of shots of the train. 

On fourth of July weekend 1998, I got my first glimpse of the Talgo cars that would be used on the Cascades service.  Three car shells were sitting on trailers at a truck stop in Worden, Oregon. Today closes the loop.

In this image, the funeral train is passing the Eastmoreland Golf Course in Southeast Portland. This Union Pacific trackage was once the northern extent of Southern Pacific's Golden Empire.
