Description:
Amtrak train no. 14, the northbound Coast Starlight, passing a farm at twilight in western Oregon's Willamette Valley, just north of Eugene. The train provides daily service between Seattle and Los Angeles, crossing the Cascade Mountains in Oregon and running along the California coast, primarily on former Southern Pacific routes (now owned by Union Pacific). The train's name is a nod to the SP's famed fleet of Daylight-series streamlined passenger trains. |

Creator Description:
Kyle Weismann-Yee grew up in Portland, Oregon, but took his first railroad photos while visiting Japan as a middle school student. He undertook photography more seriously upon graduation from high school in 2004, and he has gravitated towards overlooked railroad operations throughout the northwest, particularly shortlines, branchlines, and industrial switching districts. In 2008, he graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in ethnic studies, a field he hopes to pursue in the nonprofit sector. |
