Gorge Garbage
It may have been a garbage train, but the experience was anything but. Hauling empty trash containers from Roosevelt, WA back to Interbay/Balmer Yard in Seattle, a nice looking BNSF Warbonnet C44-9W leads the train through a picturesque S-curve at the confluence of the Columbia and Klickitat rivers in the western Columbia Gorge. Drinking ice-cold Baja Blasts with some buddies while waiting for this train to show up in the beautiful evening light in on one of the most scenic mainlines I’ve ever visited made this one of my favorite trackside memories.
