This morning I headed over to Portland, my goal was to get some decnet shots of the new hybrid switchers at Albina but unless I could move either the switchers or the sun, that wasn’t going to happen.
I heard the Empire Builder #27 on the radio and got over to 9th street just in time to catch him coming into the Portland depot area:
I drove up to Willbridge but there wasn’t much going on, so I continued out to Linton for the heck of it. I pulled down Marina Road to turn around and caught sight of a train to the west. Turns out the train was just leaving to head west, so I chased it for a ways and got a few shots. This one is my favorite… the train is passing Columbia Memorial Cemetary, with lots of flowers and flags on the graves for the holiday weekend:
