Hey, does anyone have pic's from the early 70's of Amtrak in the Northwest, or just anywhere in the west?
Sure looks like Clay siding to me, just off of Big Ten! About 5 miles west of there is Tunnel 17. Here's the CZ from atop T17, about to enter the tunnel and exit South Draw: And exiting Tunnel 17, about to pop into Tunnel 18:
Amtrak Coast Starlight. Portland Union Station. Fall of 1980. Soon it was ready to leave for Seattle. Boxcab E50
As my son and I set up for a train picture west of Fruita, CO we noticed that the distant train was stopped. As we loaded up and headed for the parked train we noticed that it was the evening Amtrak which was being boarded at a crossing by the local fire department EMS. Ben
