Train in the Tillamook Burn

Title

Train in the Tillamook Burn

Description

Black and white image of a train sitting on the tracks in a logged and/or burned hillside. There are a great number of bare trees, both standing and laying down. The train appears to be made of either logging cars full of logs or boxcars and is lined across the middle of the image, ending at a building of some sort. The hillside is steep, and there are visible supports beneath the track. The photographer stands on a hillside across from the train itself.
