CP grain on the Joso Trestle
2 AC44s, a CP and UP, are up front on a SB grainer towards Portland with a BNSF GE bringing up the rear and giving the consist 3 different class 1s.
With the biggest heat wave most of Washington has ever seen coming in for the weekend, our Sunday plan changed from being a mellow day on the Snake river, and eventually an evening chase of the GRNW, into a somewhat chaotic day of trains on the Ayer sub, Tacoma, Everett and finally a BN and ATSF geep in the Burlington-Bellingham area. I started out the morning by sitting at a pullout on the East side of the Joso trestle, and was lucky enough to catch a SB in some great morning light, checking off this Joso trestle shot from my list. Although this became my only train on this section of the Ayer sub, I wasn't disappointed since I had the surprise of having 3 different colored GEs being the only power on that mornings grainer.
