How's the View?
Title:  How's the View?
Description:  SD40-2 twins 3052 and 3053 make their way over the towering Holcomb Creek Trestle with the Harbor Turn behind them. Normally this train goes back empty so the loaded log cars (what it took down) is very strange indeed.

Almost There
Title:  Almost There
Description:  Track speed on the trestle is 10 mph so it takes some time to get across. This line saw no trainu between 1994 and 1998 and came within inches of being turned into a rail trail. Thank God that didn't happen.

An Alternate Present
Title:  An Alternate Present
Description:  In a world where BN never sold the United District to the Willamette & Pacific, this might have been an everyday occurrence. But this was the first time (to knowledge) that locomotives of this size ever crossed the Holcomb Creek Trestle. ES44C4 6746 and ES44AC 5899 had the honors!

Guests of Honor
Title:  Guests of Honor
Description:  BNSF contacted the Portland & Western to&store some baretable (intermodal) cars for them. In response, the P&W cleared several miles of the former Port of Tillamook Bay RR for the storage of said cars and BNSF pupplied the power for them. The P&W supplied the crews so while these are BNSF locomotives, it's a P&W crew.

Up and Over
Title:  Up and Over
Description:  This connection was built in 2016 and opened less than a year ago. It allows trains to transfer between the Tillamook and United Districts without having to run around the tqain in Banks, as had been the case. It was the first heavy rail construction in the Portland area since the early 80s and this photo illustrates the significant grade"involved.
