Special in Portland

by Steve Eshom on November 14, 2010

A special train operated Saturday in Portland.  But this is a special train in a different sort of way because a couple in our railfan community were married aboard!   Leia and George charted this Oregon Pacific train for their ceremony which as long time railfans this was a perfect way for them to have their wedding and celebrate their day!

Leia and George asked if I could take photographs of the day and I gladly said yes!  They are both wonderful people and I jumped the opportunity to do something special for them.   As a bonus I and my family were treated to a fun train ride!  So, congratulations Leia and George and thank you for the chance to take these photos!

How about those decorations on the 1202?  Bet you don’t see that on the front of a locomotive too often!

    Thanks for the photo … one of the board members of the El Dorado Western Railway was married on the Dixiana No. 1 Shay at Roaring Camp.
