As the recipient of branch lines shed by the Class I’s, Portland & Western inherited some of the Northwest’s most unique railroading situations. They have tunnels, spindly wooden trestles, modern commuter rail, drawbridges, and street running all within a few hundred miles. Today I visited Rainier, OR where I witnessed Portland & Western’s Wauna Turn thread its way through downtown streets on its way out to Avon to work USG Wallboard and the Teevin Brothers log yard.
Get out of the way!
