The stationary red caboose, built in 1923, is now a Train Observation Station.
We’d just left the Worthington Community Center Pool, walking across the parking lot and heading home for supper. And we heard the whistle. A train! (Click for short video)
I thought there might be two cabooses but no caboose at the end of today’s freight train. Laura was good to wait.
From Virginia to Ohio, through West Virginia in between. It’s a little more than 350 miles. Sunday afternoon and the holiday weekend travelers were on the highway. A tractor trailer had overturned and rolled through the median- you could see the jersey barrier broken up and then the missing guard rail along the other side of the highway.on Route 77- all traffic on the road was actually stopped for a time
Thunderstorms, lightning, magnificent clouds, sunlight behind clouds, wet pavement and teaming rain, then some bright sun for the weather report.
Shooting through glass is never ideal. I got to be in the passenger seat this trip. Good to be back in Ohio with the family, safe and sound.

Everything is hazy due to wildfires in the mountains. Stehekin area. Smoke across the landscape in Eastern Washington. Reardan WA, population 600 in 2000 census. On the way from the Spokane Airport with my sister, driving a rental to our brother’s in Okanogan. Long day of travel. Wheat fields on either side of the 2 lane road. Grain elevators in the background. It’s almost a 3 hour drive from the airport to his place near the Columbia River.
