| Remarks & Notes |
| Seeming to glow in perfect late-evening light, this trio of massive SD9043MACs effortlessly roll a long train of Canadian grain through the Wallula Gap. The gap is a geologic feature that began forming millions of years ago as an ancient river began to cut through a low point in a flood basalt ridge that dammed its seaward flow, and eventually achieved its present form through intense erosion during the great Missoula Floods some 13,000 years ago; its sheer basalt cliffs now provide spectacular backdrops for both landscape and railroad photography. |
