Brownsmead Train Station, Clatsop County, Oregon

Brownsmead Train Station, Clatsop County, Oregon

I’ve been exploring the banks of the Columbia, getting tangled up in the low lying farmland on the the Oregon side, near the mouth but east from the coast. Old homesteads, cattle and sheep, a steady life in the tidal sloughs. Not much has changed here for more than 100 years. Newer trucks and tractors nowadays, but the people are the same as they ever were – hard, hard working and simple.

Brownsmead is a place where a road crosses an abandoned train line. It had a post office for while, and a train station, which is where I found this image.
