Western Railroad Discussion > Portland and Vancouver this last weekend.

I was in Portland over the last weekend to attend the Autumn Leaf Slide Show in Centralia, WA on Saturday.

I'm currently sitting in Albuquerqe on a two hour layover waitng for my flight to Dallas.

Here are a few photos from my trip.

1. Amtrak train #28 departing Portland on Tuesday, 10/16. The area to the right of the train used to be Hoyt Street Yard (former SP&S).

2. Amtrak train # 513 at Fruit Valley (north end of Vancouver, WA) Sunday 10/24

Great job! I really like # 2 and all the fall colors you captured in the others.

Randy... The B yard never looked so good.

Thanks for photographing and posting Vancouver Bypass. I was design manager for the job - nice way to wind down my civil engineering career!

The Geep looks like a rebuilt GP30.
