Portland, OR area - C&C, P&W and the Columbia bridge
Author: casco17

Here are some pics from earlier this month:
1. C&C - Longview, WA 10-4-24
2.  P&W - near Columbia City, OR  10-4-24
3.  Columbia River swing bridge, shortly before the bridge rails moved back in alignment.  10-5-24 

Thx for looking

Very nice variety. Does C&C just switch the mill?

Thanks for posting!  And yes, the C&C only operates within Longview, the line north to Rocky Point has been out of service for a decade or so and is no longer intact as at least one bridge has been partially removed.

Number two is in Columbia City, OR.  A couple or three miles up the line is a nice elevated view curve which, on the exceptional day, includes the tip of Mount Hood is the distance.  I had shot there a dozen or more times before I got that rare day clear enough to see the Hood.

In that picture of the Columbia River Bridge that was taken just before it locked closed, the alignment arms (or whatever you want to call them) look like headless mutant aliens running on top of the rails.  Maybe you should send that picture to the National Enquirer as positive evidence that the alien invasion has begun, just before the elections!
