This original oil painting captures the quiet power and layered textures of a Union Pacific rail yard in Eugene, Oregon. Painted en plein air from a vantage point near River Road and the Expressway, this work reflects the raw immediacy of the moment—the heavy geometry of train cars, the curve of steel tracks, and the industrial atmosphere under a restless sky. This scene is a meditative study of light, texture, and the forgotten beauty of transit spaces. The striking yellow and red boxcars pop against a backdrop of muted greens and grays, echoing the grit and motion of the rail yard. Overhead wires slice through the cloudy sky, while wildflowers in the foreground offer a contrasting softness.

This is a one-of-a-kind, unframed original oil painting—ideal for collectors of American industrial landscapes, plein air works, or those with a personal connection to the Pacific Northwest.
