A southbound manifest on the Oregon Trunk has followed the Deschutes River Canyon for 80 miles from the Columbia River to South Junction and has now turned up the 1.5% grade of Trout Creek Canyon for the 20 mile climb to the summit near Madras.
The Oregon Trunk, the route most well known for the Deschutes Railroad War, still sees BNSF-and at times detouring UP-traffic today. This album covers all images taken along the line between Celilo and Chemult, Oregon.
