Palouse Sunset and a GP30M

This Mike Bjork photo combines two of my favorite things - a Palouse Sunset and an EMD GP30.

What are some of my other favorite things? Pie, lots of it. Cars that are older than me. Two cylinders, two tires and 50mpg.

Nice work Mike!

Yakima Under Wire - 1971


Drew Jacksich took this RailPictures.Net Photo of a GE B+B Electric with Yakima Valley Transportation in 1971. It's nice to see these photos from eras gone by. YVT is not well known, but was a subsidiary of Union Pacific (hence the colors) and abandoned by the railroad in 1985. A portion of the right-of-way still operates the Yakima Valley Trolley.

Great footage of the YVT can also be seen on a nicely priced video from Green Frog - Pacific Northwest Kaleidoscope. Check out more of Drew's photos HERE. Thanks Drew for a great picture!
