Artist's Comments

Before there was a BN (and a BNSF) there were the CB&Q, the NP, the GN, and my favorite... the Spokane Portland and Seattle. It had an immaculate little roster of mostly Alcos in a pretty paint scheme and operated in beautiful scenery. Here is a way freight poking along the Columbia River near The Dalles dam in 1968.

Nice. the locomotive's paint scheme sure maches the landscape pretty well.

wierd... i never noticed that but you are very right... the dark brown of the shadowed rock walls and the dusty gold of the dried out brush.

The paint scheme reminds me of the Milwaukee Road.

Beautiful scenery indeed. :)

Though the background looks a bit odd, is that due to heat distortion, or overexposure? Or is the slide slightly damaged?
