Rowena Pre-Steam

by Aaron Hockley

Like every other railfan in the northwest, I was out chasing the 844/4449 steam special last weekend.  I haven’t posted steam photos because I’ve been busy with GorgeRail preparations (you’re going to be there, aren’t you?) but I wanted to share this photo I took of an eastbound UP train while waiting for the steam special.  When I setup at this spot at Rowena, the lighting was great.  However I was waiting on the UP, and they can’t run a passenger train on time even when it’s their own train on their own rails… so by the time the steam train got there, the lighting had gone all crappy.  This was taken when the lighting was only partially crappy:
