A southbound BNSF manifest crests Lava Butte Summit, 11 miles south of Bend, OR. A nice one-mile hike over the lave rock from the truck, mid-day, at 90 degrees!
A very rare for the OT Sub. southbound grain train has topped Lava Butte Summit south of Bend, OR, in a "moderate" snow storm. 2nd loaded grainer we've seen come through here in the last couple of weeks, apparently symboled as Pasco to Barstow.
