[Beaverton (Farmington Rd.) to Hillsboro (Susbauer Rd.)]
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 one, I first catch the Harbor blazing along Farmington Road on it's way into Hillsboro to turn and head towards Banks. Then, we pace it along side TV Highway and speed up to Garabaldi Street (Mahan Siding) to get a warm horn welcome of "Smoke on the Water" (being played by our very own Matt Adams). Finally, we catch our train passing by Susbauer Road crossing, on its way to Schefflin, and then onto Banks.

  • Awesome! On my 28th birthday too. I live in Raleigh Hills. I used to count the train cars go by when I was in math class at BHS from 95-99.
