  1. Rare Soo Line visitor to Central Oregon

    Rare Soo Line visitor to Central Oregon

    Sunday we were treated to a rare visitor on BNSF's Oregon Trunk Sub., a gorgeous red Soo Line SD60. The trailing unit on a northbound manifest, here she is "in the lead" as the power returns to the train after making a setout in the yard.

  2. UP Meet in Cascan

    UP Meet in Cascan

    UP 8595 leads its Northbound Z train past the DPU of a stopped Southbound manifest. At this time that day, it was raining. However, later that day the rain turned to snow, and by the next morning there was about 10 inches of the white stuff on the ground making access to Cascan impassiable.

    ITLX 44023

    This covered hopper was sitting in Bend today. At first, I ignored it, but Rob Jacox was there as well and pointed out the old Co-Op lettering. You don't see a lot of the Co-Op lettering around much more today.

  4. BNSF 736

    BNSF 736

    BNSF 736 came into town about three days ago, but what suprised me was that it is coupled and MU'ed to the local GP40M and GP39-2. I know a Dash 9 is a little heavy for some of the track the local needs to run on, so it is a mystery to me as to why it is where it is.

    BNSF 8004

    The fourth of ten SD40-2's on a light engine move being returned to the leaser. I did get a shot of the white face behind this one as well, but it didn't turn out very good. The other five units were not in a very good spot to be photographed as I would've had to stand on a highway onramp to...

    LMX & Santa Fe - OT Sub - Late 1996

    In the first winter after the BNSF merger in 1996, a southbound train of empty spine cars awaits a crew at Bend, OR, with a fresh blanket of snow on the ground. The LMX B39-8E's are long gone, and Santa Fe units with original road numbers weren't around for much longer, either.Canon EOS-10s...

    Local Power

    These two GP's are the local power in Bend. One is GP40M number 3009, and the other is GP39-2 2723. The road crews use the road power to set out or pick up cars in Cascan. Then, the local crew goes to work making up a Northbound local every day. The local goes from Bend to Madras, OR, and...

  10. BNSF 8002

    BNSF 8002

    The 8002 was leading a 10 locomtive light engine move South on the Oregon Trunk. All 10 locomtives were SD40-2's being returned to their leasers. Really a shame as the SD40-2 is one of my (if not the) favorite locomtives.

    Durring the 2008 UP detours on the BNSF Oregon Trunk, the UP 1996 made several visits to Bend. Being one of six Heritage units, and not even on a UP line, it was a treat to us railfans in Bend.
