Oregon and California
Mainline Pictures
The following pictures were taken during our many hours of
driving on our July 30 to August 8, 1999 Train Trip out west.
In that short week, we put close to 2000 miles on the rental car.
Of those 2000 miles, Geroge Quiles, who accompanied us, put about
1900 of them on! These pictures are of heavy freight trains traversing
some of the most beautiful scenery I have encountered.
