Older power idles behind the Albina engine house.

Cascade green power rolls past a rail train led by a Warbonnet BNSF 719.

Two Burlington Northern survivors roll the Lake Transfer back to Vancouver.

Hanging out in Vancouver, i came across this executive mac leading a coal train right before i was about to leave town.
