Here's southbound Amtrak Cascades #503 knocking down the signal at Coalca, OR. Today's weather is great for Oregon railfanning- its not raining, but it is cloudy enough to keep the temperature nice and cool. My shot focused on the tail end of the train, since I find the Talgo VI cab car to be so butt-ugly. Just in time for my birthday in this September, you will once again be able to take a Cascades all the way to Vancouver, BC!
