I dedicate this to Jeremiah Lietke who was able to attend the Bridge Pedal due to a case of strep throat. The annual event allows thousands of people to ride on the Fremont Bridge and a handful o... (more)

Portland & Western's daily Albany-Vancouver train makes a rather late run into Portland.

Where did the yellow go? Some foreign power form south of the border along with the east coast has invaded Union Pacific's Albina Yard. CSX 618 is one of the big radiator AC6000CW.

From the north end of Albina Yard, the CNW heritage unit is holding to enter the Yard. The train just arrived off the BNSF from Seattle.

#1413, a former CN GMD-1, heads south with a train bound for the Oaks Amusement Park.

EMDX 1503, one of the new EMD SD70ACe-T4 demo units has maid its way to Portland. Unfortunately it wasn't leading, but UP 8949 is unique as the locomotive has the new HTCR-6 trucks.

400 Tons of Baldwin Muscle. Weighing in at 871,550 lbs fully loaded with tender, and wielding just under 70,000 lbs of tractive effort, the massive Spokane, Portland & Seattle #700 sits ste... (more)

A pair of Tier IV GE's roll east to the Graham Line.

A couple of SD40-2's move light to Willbridge Yard. They will probably be added to the Pasco bound manifest. Most of the power from Pasco, Wa comes west to Vancouver, Wa for servicing.

The infamous Lake Yard Transfer meets a Chicago-bound intermodal making up its train.
