Thank you so much for the heads up.  I figured the lead unit would come to Portland, and she certainly did, arriving early at that!   We have become a nidus for Seimens units  The were four of them in Portland station this morning once the 301 got settled in.  So, agian, thank you for the timely alert.

Photo one: Train 27 arriving Portland, Oregon.

Photo two: close up of front half of the 301.

Photo three.  Train had a pretty good number of passengers.
