TRAIN PICTURES

The track from Central Oregon to Eugene has been closed because of an avalanche on January 19th. The slide covered two parts of the track because of the switchbacks in the tracks resulting from the steep terrain. Snow, rocks, trees and other debris covered the tracks up to twenty feet deep. The only trains we have seen are those carrying rocks to the repair site. Some of the trees are stored in the town of Oakridge a few miles from the slide area.
