Eastbound Passing Cliffs

Very beautiful picture were do the tracks go that go off to the right of the picture?

Thank you for the comment. One of those spur tracks goes up the hill a bit to the old Goldendale Alumium smelter. It closed down in 2003, due to higher power prices. The spur going to the smelter is just barely visible as a turnout, closer to the mainline switch. The track which continues towards the camera is a short storage spur. A cloudy day, a long lens, and a little haze made for a grainy longer exposure. If you have a good internet connection, click on the link above for a Wiki-Map of the location.

Quite a fill there.

Thanks for the reply i will check out that link.

Cliffs,

Very nice photo of an e/b at Cliffs.. I would like to see Cliff when it was a crew change spot on the old SP&S railway..
