Western Railroad Discussion > Portland and Western Oregon Electric Sub

I was driving over to Home Depot in Tigard yesterday, when I heard the OE Express departing Tigard southbound.  Since it wasn't raining, I ended up chasing them down the valley.

Yes, I know some of you will say, "it's cloudy, why bother".  Well it's Oregon in December and trains run even if the sun doesn't shine.

Here are the photos.

I'm really glad you moved back home after retirement Randy.
Do you know if P&W owns this substation or the one at Tonquin,
or at least the land there on?  Again, I really like your photo's, and
hope when the weather changes you can go down to Dick Samuels
Oregon Pacific Molalla branch and get some photos. Might see you in the valley!

Nice pictures!   It makes me want to cut out of work and do some train chasing.  but since I can't I appreciate you showing what's out there.

Cloudy = even diffused lighting. Nice set of photos.

Very enjoyable series!

Keep on shootin' !
