Wallula Gap Sunrise

At daybreak on a cool morning, a very short southbound "Super Fruit" originating at Wallula, Washington blasts up the Cold Springs grade, leaving behind the Columbia River and the snow-dusted cliffs of the Wallula Gap. This train of Pacific Northwest refrigerated perishables is ultimately destined for Rotterdam, New York. We are right at the transition of seasons, as the last bits of snow melt away, soon to give way to the vibrant green grasses of spring. The discerning eye may pick out westbound Amtrak 27, the "Baby Builder" across the river on its journey to Portland.
