The 500 idles on Track 1, awaiting its next assignment
A freight train pulling out of the yard
Closing in on Portland Union Station
Coast Starlight on its way to California.
Leaving Union Station to turn the train around in East Portland.
Just rolling through Portland
Kicking up the RPMs, hiball for Albany!
Don't know if this is a GP38 or what, but taking a lucky guess. UP's CTC went down, so switches have to be hand-thrown. Conductor seen in shadows on the left, was 103 degrees here!
Coast Starlight departing PDX on time, 15 minutes before the Steel Bridge began having signal problems (whew!)
The NB Coast Starlight running about 3 hours late, crossing Steel Bridge as MAX train crosses on upper deck
The Empire Builder heading for Union Station
The Talgo heading north for Seattle, with 469 pushing the train
The Talgo left Portland on time today!
The Coast Starlight revving up through east Portland
The Coast Starlight cruising through Willbridge and Lake Yards
