To commemorate the bicentennial of the
Lewis and Clark Expedition, the Oregon Department of
Transportation operated an excursion train
along the south bank of the lower Columbia River from Linnton, near Portland,
to Astoria, near the site of Fort Clatsop, where the Lewis
and Clark Expedition wintered over in 1805-06. The train ran for the summers of
2003 to 2005, making one round trip on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays and
Mondays. This was my first opportunity to photograph the train as it made
its return trip through Rainier, Oregon, in the summer of 2003 as the evening
light faded.
