2025 Amtrak, Trip North, A U.S. Railroad, Southern Oregon
|
|
|

Shortly thereafter, we entered a part of the forest that was thickly grown with evergreen trees. There among the clouds, our Amtrak train passed a clearing next to the tracks. Power lines paralleled the tracks of the Amtrak train. Trees were reflected in water as the sun rose behind them. Only four lights were lit on and in a distant warehouse. The sun was almost fully up on that morning outside the Amtrak train. Overhead, the clouds were back-lit by the dawn sun. There among the evergreen trees, we passed a low tree that had its branches covered in golden colored leaves. A large letter K was set near the top of a hill. This K meant were passing Klamath Falls, Oregon.

Storm clouds covered a small town beside the Amtrak route south. After hundred of miles traveled, San Francisco finally came into view. At long last, San Francisco Bay came into view off to the right of the railroad tracks. A rusted vent atop a warehouse next to the Amtrak route south. Support cables for the Bay Bridge were in the foreground, and Treasure Island lay beyond in the middle of San Francisco Bay. Two windmills generated power in the distance from the Amtrak route south. Nearing the end of the trip, the Ferry Building came into view. Wet lands paralleled the Amtrak route south through California. The Amtrak trip south paralleled a ranch in northern California.
