On June 17th 2015, a nearly cloudless day, I set out for a bike ride of the former Milwaukee Road railway between Easton and Cedar Falls in Washington state. It is now the Iron Horse state park AKA the John Wayne trail. This album shows the best of the many photos I took along the way, documenting the area for the purposes of reconstructing it via model railroading. Hence there is a heavy emphasis on tunnels and bridges, rocks, and small details that may only be of interest to railroad fans. There are also several large panoramas which you’ll need to download to view full size. I may use these to build a photo backdrop. There are 217 photos and I highly recommend viewing them on flickr if you want to enlarge anything. There’s a slideshow below which gives a preview but here is the full link:
