Now that I got your attention... Rainier Scenic, Elbe Washington Saturday 12 June, 2010. More photos over at: http://www.trainboard.com/grapevine/album.php?albumid=1033 What a great historic day...Triple Header with Willamette (Shay), Heisler, and Climax
Looks awesome! I rode in the cab of the Climax back in 84....great memories. Thats a nice operation they have there.
Michael, Great album! You really got some super shots of the business parts of those loggers. I suspect that's where the term "monkeymotion" started. I wanted to go up there for this trip and it looks like I missed the ONLY good weather day we have had in months. Kicking self in butt, I do want to get back up there when 2-8-2 No. 70 comes out of the shop. The folks up there have been doing some great work, getting the Willamette back to operation, and fixing the 91, now the 70. :tb-biggrin:
Nice!!!!!! I, too want to see the 70 in action again. It's been years since I was in her cab, and she's not run in much too long. Boxcab E50
RailsNW will run this trip again in May of 2011- with the #70. Triple header planned to Divide, $98: http://www.railsnw.com/Tours/charter/rainier/rainier_rambler.htm
