FoamersNW: Winter in the Blue Mountains of Oregon

Each December, a group of us travel to shoot some snowy railroad photos. This winter was no exception, but the venue changed a bit. The past several years, we headed south to the former SP Cascade Crossing at Pengra Pass outside Eugene, OR. In 2006, the traffic levels were so down that on our last day we saw only 2 trains the entire day. This year myself along with Richard Zoller, Steve Eshom and Steve Carter headed to the Oregon Short Line (UP) crossing of the Blue Mountains in Eastern Oregon.

Snow was forecast for the long weekend - a few suprises were in store for us over the weekend.....Here are some of the photos from the great weekend! You can view the photos at full size by clicking on each of the images.

Thanks for looking -
