Passenger Trains > Hoghead................

I took Cascades Talgo #504 to Portland, OR this AM. North of Oregon City there was a little bit of congestion and we poked along some and waited some. A northbound "Z" was in front of us and in front of that was a BNSF664 and something else in front of that. First off we got to pass the "Z" at Clackamas at a very slow speed. One of the "Z" crew was on the ground in front of his engine giving us a "roll by." We were going slow enough and he was far enough from the train that passengers were hollering "Hey, look at this" and everybody got a look.

He was wearing a full pullover Halloween mask of a pig.......
