Posted by Bob Avery on October 27, 2011  Absolutely terrific, action packed photograph, beautifully lit. I like the glimpse of the train in the distance. Posted by Chase Gunnoe on October 27, 2011  Beautiful photo, Joel! Great light and a wonderful composition displaying an overall nice scene. My vote for a PCA. Posted by Mitch Goldman on October 27, 2011  Congrats on the retro SC. Well earned - lots to see, great colors, and nicely lit. Posted by Jake B. on October 27, 2011  Amazing shot Joel. Well deserving of a Screener's Choice and hopefully a PCA. I really like the BNSF freight across the river in the background.

Posted by Ulf Degener on October 28, 2011  Phantastic foto; best light; best location Posted by Stu Levene on October 28, 2011  That's the Oregon Trunk which joins the UP at Celilo before crossing the Columbia River to join the BNSF west of Wishram. Posted by Randall on October 28, 2011  Congratulations Joel on the Screeners Choice. I've stood on that bluff countless times only to come away empty handed. You nailed your shot. Well done sir! Posted by Jim Thias on October 29, 2011  Clean power leading, perfect light, lots of color and a train in the background to boot. Perfection! Posted by David Honan on October 29, 2011  Fabulous capture, Joel! Posted by Joel Hawthorn on October 30, 2011  Thanks for the comments, friends. I have to admit that it's times such as this where luck plays a big part in the equation - being at the right place at the right time. Posted by rail41 on November 1, 2011  Great photo. I like the BNSF train across the river in Washington. Posted by Christian Base on November 2, 2011  Wow. Just... WOW! Posted by on November 2, 2011  Wow, awesome composure on this one Joel! Surely gets my vote for a PCA. Here's to the 2nd trifecta in 2 weeks! Posted by Steve Carter on November 2, 2011  Congratulations Joel! Nice shot indeed! Posted by Ken Albrecht on November 4, 2011  Gotcha a dinger snap, Joel. I'm sure a bunch of us are envious of your catch. Posted by Dave Blaze... on November 5, 2011  Well done Joel....well done! Posted by on November 6, 2011  Excellent colors and scene and a nice engine. Congrats on the SC and POTW. I'm doing my part to get you the trifecta of awards. Posted by Matt Weldon on November 8, 2011  Fantastic shot Joel! Great composition with a nice squeeze job between the pole line. Posted by Chaostrain on July 7, 2012  The upper track is a BNSF line that crosses the river just around the bend from Washington. Funny, of all the times I've driven past there and I have see a picture to finally see a train in that spot.
