East of Union Pacific's Hinckle yard the old OWR&N follows the Umatilla River nearly 50 miles to Gibbon at the foot of the Blue Mountains. The railroad is away from the highway throughout this entire area, and is not often photographed, but offers some of the best scenery on the entire old OWR&N. Here an eastbound manifest crosses the Umatilla River for the fourth time since departing Hinckle.
