Notice - Internet service has been restored but is still experencing some sporatic outages. If the photo does not load on the first attempt try again in a few minutes.
Editor's Note - Please send newsworthy photos to trainnews@att.net, please include name, location and narrative so folks know what, where and why it is newsworthy.
UP 4455 South has just met Amtrak #14 (The Coast Starlight) in Vancouver, WA, on April 7, 2009. It is slowly rolling toward the north end of the Columbia River drawbridge where it is facing a red board. I believe it was to await Amtrak #8 (Portland section of the Empire Builder) before crossing the bridge.
