When I first glanced at the photo I thought it was in the Columbia river george because of the Mt. in the background. It was only after stareing at the pix for a few minuets that I realized this had to be SP in the cascades. The only place I could figure where the open meadow would be is near the top. Thus the Odell Lake (or is it Crescent lake?) guess. I've been over 58 many times but only a couple during daylight hours. I've also ridden Amtrak through there. Its beautifull scenery till Eugene, then its blaaa to me. So I prefer to travel 97 through oregon. Reply spbed Member sinceDecember 2001 From: Austin TX 4,941 posts Posted by spbed on Wednesday, March 30, 2005 11:11 AM Yep the tape spends a few minutes on the QRR. Without looking at it I think it said they have 3 switchers & that from the interchange point with UPRR they have a tough grade back to Quincy. If you want I will be happy to tell what locos had of the time of the tape by watching the tape again. [:o)][:D][:)] If the place is in the Casades then I get some kudos for the S line comment right?
