Portland Chase

On the 27th I found an interesting locomotive on a northbound BNSF train in Salem so I chased it to Portland. Also photographed a few other trains along the way. Above and Below: PNWR Salem Switcher pulls some cars past Minto Siding.

Below: The northbound BNSF train at the north end of Minto led by a GP50 in the Power Bar paint scheme.

The next two shots are in an industrial area between the Portland & Western yard and the Union Pacific mainline.

Above: The southbound Coast Starlight runs through Aurora.
