The Home of GorgeRail

by Steve Eshom

For anyone not familiar with the Columbia River gorge here’s a photo of sorts of the ‘Home of GorgeRail‘.  GorgeRail will be held for the third consecutive year at the Columbia Gorge Discovery Center which is situated just west of The Dalles, OR overlooking the Columbia River.  From various places on the property there are views of both the BNSF and UP tracks, including a large panoramic view of the north side of the river right out of the main hall.  Pictured is an eastbound UP manifest that is about to hit the beginning of double track at Crates.  The Discovery Center is in the brown buildings above the tracks and the grassy area around it contains exhibits related to the history of the gorge.

For those that have registered, I look forward to seeing you in May!  For those that haven’t, now would be the time to do so as seating is limited.
