A Gorge Teaser

Tonight I spent a few hours in the gorge and got several decent shots.  Here’s a teaser with the rest to be posted in the coming days.

I found this new looking-up angle from the Port of Klickitat.  This train is sitting at West Bingen.  It was stopped here for quite a while due to an open tank car hatch that was discovered on a rollby.  Since it was hot, I gave the conductor a ride to the back of the train (and back forward) for him to check it out.  He seemed grateful for the ride… it was a tad warm.  The 70.7 detector was annoucing an ambient temperature around 108 degrees at the time.

More Gorge treats to come this weekend…
