PTPCX - A.K.A. "The May Train" - Jefferson, Oregon - March 1995

SP 9600 W.  PTPCX train near Jefferson, Oregon - March, 1995

Taken from the double hairpin curve bridge over the SP railroad east of Jefferson, Oregon, the PTPCX sprints down the Willamette Valley on a murky winter day.  The old highway bridge has since been replaced and the curves eased.  SP GP60 9600 was seen earlier on this blog heading up a train at Spadra, California (link.)


The old highway alignment can easily be seen in the Google Map view below.

  2. Would that be at Marion? There used to be a field with many llama right next to the tracks. The animals were very curious about my Son and I.
