PNWR Harbor Turn Chase - Part 5

[Folkenberg (Tunnel Spur) to Hillsboro (Schefflin)]
On a very nice Saturday morning of May 16th, the Harbor Turn takes off from Tigard enroute to Harbor in Linnton, Oregon. The Harbor had PNWR 2314 (EMD GP39-2), PNWR 2303 (EMD GP39-2), and PNWR 2306 (EMD GP39-2) that day and I decided to chase this train on its adventure. This was my first actual chase of a freight train and I had over 70 minutes captured to edit. Since I can't post one, 70 minute video, I'm splitting my chase up into about five parts.

In part 5 (the LAST part), the Harbor Turn climbs over Cornelius Pass once more to make it through the Cornelius Pass Tunnel. Then, it travels over a small wooden trestle in Helvetia on its way to Banks (I got there just at the right moment to get that shot. A second more, I would have not been able to get it). Finally, the Harbor makes one more trip through Schefflin on its way to Tigard. This was really a fun chase and trip. Hope you enjoyed the chase too!
