Wicopee, OR
Sept. 11, 2010

Note: This is an inactive archived TrainWeb site that contains a lot of wonderful photos and information of historic value. The comments here were posted in July 2012: The last minor update was changing the cover photo/photo of the month to this shot at Wicopee, OR, on the UP's Cascade Subdivision (former SP) 2-1/2 years ago. Last weekend Austin I went up Wicopee, only to find a bunch of UP workers up there putting up new "Darth Vader" signals to replace the classic SP signal bridge. This classic shot (with a lump in my throat, since the locomotives are now yellow!) cannot be duplicated! The same type of signal bridge is still in place at Abernethy, and no work looks to be done this year...

Inactive TrainWeb sites like this are moved from the TrainWeb.org to the TrainWeb.US web server. This is a fantastic website of photos and descriptions of hundreds of western railroads locomotives especially the shortlines of Oregon, Washington, California and British Columbia as well as others.

Click on "The Shortline" link below as that is where the bulk of photos and information is located in this website.

Class-One scenic, action, and roster shots. Currently linked to my RR Picture Archives.net space, as this is much easier to maintain than a web site!

The bulk of the material on this web site is in here. If you like shortlines, loggers, and/or industrial lines, you will want to look here.
