In June/July 2017, Marc Fournier toured the Pacifc North West and took some EXCELLENT images.
Marc just returned from a 37 day, 5555 mile trip to the PNW. In his never ending quest to visit every National Park / Preserve and Railroad in the USA, this trip included stops in CA, NV, UT, CO, NE, WY, ID, MT, & WA. He found some really old and some relatively new RR equipment and some great scenic vistas. MF (photos) & GGG (editing)
