180. Picking up water cars in Roseburg
We have reached the other end of Roseburg yard. By order of the Forest Service, all trains travelling over a significant grade need to have water cars behind the locomotives dowsing the roadbed to reduce the likelihood of fires from April - October.

Here our locomotives cut off the head end and pick up two water cars to add to our train.

The one structure on the right and the nearby tent card is a placeholder for Empire Gas of Roseburg. In the middle distance directly to the left of the train is the site of Roseburg station.
