by Aaron Hockley
Last weekend, the UP 844 headed west from The Dalles, Oregon to Portland, where the SP 4449 joined the excursion to head north to Tacoma. I shot the train at several locations; here are a few photos.
UP 844 broadside at Rowena
844 with a yellow train and yellow scotch broom just east of Cascade Locks
UP 844 and a bunch of steam at Dodson
Leaving Vancouver, the train passes under Fruit Valley Road
Through the S curve at Steilacoom
At Mosier. No further explanation needed

Steve & Aaron: I’m envious! To have so much steam along one river must make you guys jump, clouds or sunshine! Last time I checked on the UP steam website, neither engine is scheduled to come anywhere near Sacramento in the next year or so.
