Mount Hood Railroad

To follow up on the previous post, here are some images taken of the Mount Hood Railroad, in Hood River, Oregon. It originally operated between 1906, when it was built, and 1987. At that time it was purchased and transitioned to primarily a tourist operation.

The railroad is one of the few that still utilize switch-backs. The station dates from 1911, built by the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Company, a subsidiary of the Union Pacific. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places. The GP9 seems to have been built for the Chesapeake & Ohio in 1957.

Four images by Richard Koenig; taken March 20th 2023.

Are you being serious asking why the members of cp9 are being promoted? They were a highly skilled assassination unit. And during the time skip I'm sure they were still if not even better after enies lobby. Lucci and Kaku became part of cp0 after that. And it wasn't cause they felt bad for them? The strawhats beat them but that doesn't mean they were bad at what they did. They may not be the threat they used to be but don't act like they weren't ever a legitimate threat.

Look, I'm surprised none of them got fired after what happend on Enies Lobby! Just take a moment and see it from a marine perspective right.

- The most dangerous woman in the world escapes

- A secure/important government island gets destroyed

- BY A TINY ASS pirate crew no-one heard about

- All agents get their asses kicked

- They ran off with the giants (they used as slaves)

- The weapon blueprints get burned

Basically their entire mission they worked for years for completely and utterly fails. Someone has to take responsibility for that. The Marines need to explain this to the world government right...

And we all now how forgiving they are, when it comes down to failures that makes them look weak....

All I'm saying is, it does not matter if they are strong now or strong then.. They failed a mission. As a super secret spy that usually means death.

The Legacy of Buffalo & Pittsburgh 207

Here’s another example of tying the threads together. A few days ago, Wayne Duffett sent me a photo of a bridge on the Buffalo & Pittsburgh that he’d inspected some years back. In his story about the bridge (that was involved in a fire) he made mention of B&P GP9 number 207 that later was sold to the Finger Lakes Railroad, becoming its 1751. About a dozen years ago, Conway Scenic traded a pair…
