The flanks of our train are nicely lit here. The telephoto really accents the uneven rail. I think there are a lot of photo possiblies in this area. |

Approaching Zanger Junction |
Description: |
Our train is again broadside to the sun. Zanger Juction is where the NP and UP diverged. NP headed up Vansickle Canyon to get to Athena, Oregon and eventually Pendleton. This line was removed in the early 1990s. Although I continued west to Wallula, this was my last shot! |
