Railroad picture of the day
A short P&W freight led by one of their GP38s – running long hood first – comes screaming by me at 12th & just south of Clinton. This train must have been going about 40mph (running ahead of a southbound Cascades, maybe?) and after I took this picture I had to clamp down on my rando bag to keep everything from being sucked out by the slipstream.
(I was outside of the loading gauge, but in all honesty not far enough. I should have been north of that spraypainted line on the street, but I am old and foolish now and stopped in my tracks to take pictures when I saw the headlight pop into sight at the curve west of the ORHF’s shop/museum facility.)
