Vancouver and Portland are not known for heavy snowfall, so it surprised me a bit to see these visitors mid-train in a PTFI. They most likely never see their reflection in any river since they generally are on the high iron only in snow storms.
These were shot as they crossed the Oregon Slough between UP’s Peninsula Jct. and BNSF’s North Portland Jct. It was a good thing I was paying attention, while someone was gabbing or I could have quite possibly missed them. For you flanger fans who can’t read the small print, the numbers are SPMW 331, 320, and 326.
