On the same weekend I chased the MoPac Heritage Unit UP 1982 in Oregon, I watched both a UP (with the lesser known 4449) and a BNSF light power trains travel westbound on Portland's Steel Bridge across the Willamette River.

  • Man, they couldnt have made that S curve any tighter could they? you would

    think the rails would wear down pretty quick there...wonder what the speed limit

  • @billyjoebobway: I didn't look at the speed limit signs, but according to Altamont Press Northwest Region Timetable #8, 10 mph passenger, 6 mph freight.

  • Great video!!!!

  • Two light-power moves back-to-back?!  Very nice. I've not seen BNSF power on these tracks before, but then I don't get to Portland very often.

  • Not often we see the UP 4449! Nice. ;-)

  • Good catch! Great stuff!! Keep 'em coming.

  • MAX on top, UP/BNSF on bottom. Cool shot!

  • Great shot!!!

  • It's very impressive to see these monsters negotiating so sharp turns...

    Except this very sharp industrial siding i guess where 4 axle GP's must use only..

  • Well done, very nice shot!
