Railroad picture of the day

SPS700CabooseView

I rode one of the SP&S 700’s excursions today, and when I discovered that one of the “passenger cars” was the Portland Traction caboose that normally sits down at the EPT Milwaukie shops, I had to take advantage of the cupola ride, and the chance to bring out the Lensbaby and take a few pictures from the traditional railway worker’s observation car.

It’s not a pair of Class As, but it’s a pretty view nevertheless, and the absence of 3000 RICH CHUNKY VOLTS means that I can actually sit in the cupola and enjoy it instead of having to cower safely deep inside the faraday cage.
