Western Railroad Discussion > Orange ya glad it's Friday, PNWR Albina Flyer...Date: 04/17/15 09:16 Orange ya glad it's Friday, PNWR Albina Flyer... Author: 494 If the numerous varieties of traffic control devices & hi-vis vests don't compliment that morning cup of coffee, how about PNWR's 2301 leading last night's Albina Flyer through Milwaukie Oregon earlier today. Rough week for the Flyer after dying at Albina Monday & never even making it off the property yesterday, the combination of a clear April morning along with some extra switching at Kellogg allowed for this daylight photo opportunity of the boys heading home across Harrison St.
The overhead wires, foreground tracks & construction personnel are all part of the MAX's....yup you guessed it Orange Line opening later this year. This location is a few blocks North of viewrail Scott's post from last week, http://www.trainorders.com/discussion/read.php?4,3714749,3714749 his view is opposite mine with the PNWR tracks in the foreground. Of note, i was told there would be more MAX testing this weekend for anyone in the area who may be interested.  Date: 04/17/15 09:36 Re: Orange ya glad it's Friday, PNWR Albina Flyer...

Author: portlander My old house was just down the tracks from here out of the picture on the top right. Good memories! I wish the light rail was there when I was living there.

They were back on the property at 6:50 AM this morning with 34 cars and departed (after switching Kellogg Park) with 18 cars (3 loads and 15 empties).
