  • One of the shots that I wanted on this trip was a Westbound freight at The Dalles with the former mill as the backdrop. After one afternoon of getting no train, we tried again three days later knowing there was a Westbound coming. Unfortunately, that train was held for a fleet of Eastbounds. We were losing time due to an obligation that evening (the real reason for the trip) when one of the intermodal happened to have two DPUs. Sometimes you just have to take what you can get, 7-16-21.
