Steamscape: Japanese Creek
A persistent marine fog layer has finally burned off, revealing beautiful blue skies as Polson Lumber Co. Mikado #2 hauls a short freight across the bridge spanning Japanese Creek just over a mile west of Wheeler, OR. Japanese Creek, in the foreground, empties into the beautiful Nehalem River in the background, both of which are tidal in nature. This aerial image was captured with a UAV during an October, 2022 photo shoot on the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad, organized by Lerro Photography. It was the last operation here for the privately-owned Polson #2, which had been visiting here for several years. The recent passing of the locomotive's owner resulted in its sale to the Albany & Eastern Railroad, in Lebanon, OR.
