Various trains in the Portland, Oregon area in October 2022. Made a trip to Portland, managed to get some decent action around the area! Interesting series of power on the BNSF and UP, quite a handful of fallen flags floating around the area. Some highlights include a transfer job from Vancouver to Lake Yard, with a ex-BN SD60M on point, a former SP GP60 on the Kenton Line, and the WES commuter rail, using some cool Colorado Railcar DMU's.
Probably my favorite catch of the trip was down in Albany, Oregon, on the Portland and Western. EMD SD9 #1852, is a 1955 built EMD SD9 delivered to the Southern Pacific railroad. Purchased by the Willamette and Pacific Railroad, it's currently used as a yard switcher by the P&W. We were driving through the area, heard an M3 horn, and bolted to the tracks! Totally didn't expect to see this, so a real treat!
