We've had a bunch of special trains through Springfield lately. The Operation Lifesaver in June, the circus train last week, and this past Saturday an Officer Special. This train originated in Oakland California, destined for Eugene. Once in Eugene, the president of the railroad and various other officers were scheduled to wine and dine local politicians and shippers.
I captured the train passing just west of East Springfield behind Rosboro Lumber, one of the last two wood products companies served by rail in Springfield. This is sort of an experiment, to see how well a small point and shoot camera works for shooting train video.
Hey, did you notice that animal crossing the tracks just after the last car passed?
ReplyDeleteyeah right?!? Looks like a black lab.
ReplyDeleteThe other thing note the bird that flies in front of the train. Looks like it is joy riding!
