    Thanks, Buddy for selecting that one of mine. I have dreamed of getting that shot for years, and finally achieved that dream on this wonderful trip. It was a fantastic experience.

    Hemi, it's on the old Oregon Trunk line which goes south, across the Columbia at Wishram, WA, to Bend, OR and beyond to Bieber, CA. That particular trestle is across Willow Creek at Madras, OR. A truly great location to photograph. A little further south at Terrebonne is the Crooked River bridge, 300+ feet long and 300+ feet ABOVE the Crooked River. Of course we didn't stop for a photo runby there, but folks did get shots of us going through there. This was one of the best trips I have ever ridden with the 4449.
    BTW, you would have loved it, as we went through about 10 tunnels on the trip.
    :happy:

    Wow, I'll say. That is a fantastic shot to go with the experience. I hope you took the camera away from your face after you took it and watched with your own eyes.

    That old motor on the bridge in Thailand has seen some long and hard service.
