Welcome to the RRPictureArchives.NET contributor site of Tristan Gagnon.
Hello and welcome to my page here at RRpicturearchives. My pictures are from the Pacific NorthWest United States, and I call Springfield, Oregon home. Oregon Railroading is by far my largest album which features many mainline Union Pacific freight trains, Amtrak passenger service, most of which on the ex-SP Brooklyn and Cascade Subdivions, as well as some shortline action including the Central Oregon & Pacific Railroad, and the Portland & Western Railroad, as well as the newly formed Coos Bay Rail Link , and the very interesting and historic yet unfortunately now defunct Port of Tillamook Bay Railroad, which during its time of operation used only an assortment of first generation EMD GP and SD9's.
My original album about BNSF in the state of Washington is quite short but includes very colorful lash ups and shows some of my favorite captures in a small handful of cities, including Seatlle. For this reason it's been renamed BNSF: One Year in the Long Rainbow Era (2007-08) to separate it from my Vancouver, WA. trips.
Another main album is Remains of The Marcola Branch, which is an abandoned logging branch line between Springfield, Marcola, and Wendling. It includes the historic McKenzie River (Hayden) Bridge, which is the oldest standing railroad bridge in Oregon, and possibly all of the Pacific Northwest.
Thanks for checking out my page!PS. I frequently railfan with my brother Tracy Larson, without him much of this would not be possible. You can check out his photos on his site by clicking HERE. Our Youtube channel can be found at Train Tv PNW.
