Amtrak would be out of Montana by the end of October. It was not only a week of going after Amtrak but The Milwaukee Road would be gone by spring the next year and also a target. Busy times for a train chaser.

Taking this picture was quite an adrenaline kick. Basically every minute one tram passed, so I had to quickly position my tripod in the center of the street, run into the frame and press the shutter on my remote control. Of course I tried it several times. You just need to push the limits to make a difference as a photographer.

Yesterday Anita and I became Train Chasers!! (much like storm chasers) It was all accidental like most of our adventures are. We had meandered around some local roads for a couple of hours and then decided to head to the city of Stanton Virginia for a certain kind of lunch. Upon arrival in Stanton, there it was! Just a little glimpse of this engine going down the tracks and the race was on! Turns out Anita is a fan of steam locomotives ... and who knew??? Anita's driving can be questionable at the best of times, but when she is on a mission... look out!! Hence ensued the most wild, hair raising ride through the city of Stanton to fully see this amazing engine. Red lights were narrowly avoided, private property was driven on, No trespassing signs completely ignored, speeds most definitely exceeded!! So tantalizing because we could Hear it, we could see the smoke, but we never could quite catch it. But in true Patti & Anita fashion we wandered on, and not being back tracking sorts of explorers we decided to travel on to Goshen Virginia to find lunch. But then..... Then there was this railroad track crossing with people hanging out with tripods and cameras at the ready and turns out, they were waiting for this engine. Less than ten minutes later, there it was! Bound for the train station in Goshen! I lost track of how many photos I captured but this is one of my favorites. We beat the train into Goshen and were able to get some more photos. Lunch was very late yesterday but we ended up eating yummy sandwiches in a lovely little courtyard outside a deli in Hot Springs Virginia. Info on the train:
The legendary 611---the sole surviving class J steam locomotive built by Norfolk and Western Railway in Roanoke VA in the 1950's.

As you can see from all the wires, it takes a lot of energy to maintain the loft of a tall head of steam. Portland, Oregon OM6432 - Happy Mostly Monochromatic Mondays!
A deck of high cirrus clouds is starting to break as Mt. Emily Lumber Company Shay #1 and a string of log bunks travels eastbound past some of the spectacular geology that typifies Central Oregon. This image was captured back in 2014 off NW Campbell Ranch Road, just outside Prineville, OR. Although it was raining and gloomy to the northwest in Portland this day, and it was snowing to the east near the Idaho border, here in the central part of the state, we're protected from a lot of the precipitation by the Cascade Mountains just to our west. Moist weather systems moving in off the Pacific typically rain themselves out on the western slopes of the Cascades, leaving center of the state rather dry, with just over 10 inches of rain per year. On this particular day, the little City of Prineville was a sunny oasis for train chasers, in the middle of an otherwise stormy state of Oregon.
