Historic Hood River
Powerdale Pipeline Repairs
5-20-2020
Notes
We haven’t seen any railroad pictures for a while. Alva Day took this one in 1949 when they were repairing a washout in the Powerdale pipeline which had swept some railcars in to the river. This shows how they got the cars clear of the river.
