Back I am. If I’d known Horizon Air has free beer I might fly on more railfan trips 
Photos to be posted in the next couple days. All in all I’d pre-planned 8 shots. I got 7 of them, replaced one with a substitute a few miles up the road since there was some construction next to the tracks that ruined the shot, and also snuck in one bonus shot from the shoulder of I-84.

The 3985 craze has begun. There’s a bunch of great shots on RailroadForums already and I’m sure more will be posted this weekend. Today is probably the least crazy day to chase, but here I am at the office. Tonight I fly to Boise, rent a car, and drive back to La Grande. Tomorrow I chase back to Boise. Nuts? Yep, but I never claimed to be sane.

Why? Why not.
The northbound herder with MRL on the point comes off the Columbia River Drawbridge…

Today’s lunch brought me two MRL units, and that was just around the wye… I didn’t even head up to the shops. The northbound herder was led by MRL 303, and a westbound manifest at 8th street had an MRL sd40-2 in Operation Lifesaver paint as the second unit.
That’s on top of an earlier eastbound (probably M-PTLPAS) with an MRL unit on the point.
Pictures later, if I get around to uploading.
