That C-XXXRBC’s GE trio were on bridge No. 84.9 of BNSF NorthWest Division’s Fallbridge subdivision, a 200 ft. (61-m) concrete arch crossing the Klickitat R. on W side of Lyle, WA. Appeared the reservoir behind Bonneville Dam, some 35 mi. (56+kM) WSW (downstream), was some 6½ ft. (a meter) below “full pool” el., and very little wind then. State St./WA highway No. 14’s 260 ft. (79+m) concrete arch is 140 ft. (42+m) upstream (NE), while WA highway No. 142 winds its way N (upstream) along the E (Lt.) side of the Klickitat Valley to the upper-Rt. The W side of the Domaine Poullion Winery outlet’s above the loaded coal gons to the far-Rt., and that gravelled area beyond was the former Goldendale branch grade (o.o.s. in 1985, aband. a decade later) now the south entrance to the parking area for the Klickitat Trail on-same. A good “broadside” tele’ from over a mile (1.7-kM) to the SSW by The Nature Conservancy’s Tom McCall Preserve in OR’s Mayer State Park, about 3 very “twisty” mi. (4.8-kM) over old US No. 30 from I-84’s interchange for both “Rowena” and the latter (exit 76).
