Description: |
Boy was I shocked to see this type of control stand. It had been nearly a year since I had seen or operated one of these, and I was sure glad I remembered how to do it! |

I can't believe more railroads didn't buy GP60s - these two ran very well and were a dream to switch with! |

Pulling up the BN (2) |
Description: |
A little closer to the crossover on the old BN.... This track is all fairly new, as it was built to get trains off the OE from here to Beburg and rerouted to the SP. Of course, before BN gave up going over Cornelius Pass, this (1 track, the one on the right) was their mainline and was good for 40 MPH. |

End of the BN |
Description: |
Here is where the old BN basically stops. The switch infront of me is the GM Lead, and the bright orange thing is a ramp. The track curvewr to the right after the ramp and joins up with the Tri-Met track, which is built on the old OE at this point west to Hillsboro. Whats the ramp for? Unloading LRV's. |

Description: |
Almost in the same spot I shot the BNSF 114 and 8736 yesterday, I'm now using the WPRR 2306, which is probably the best puller on the railroad! I was albe to do things with her today that absolutely astounded me! |
