Railroad picture of the day
Here it comes…
… and there it goes!
I was feeling out of sorts today, so I chopped my usual ride very short (16km) and rode down into deepest Milwaukie to see if I could get pictures of the 11:15(ish) Cascades at a different spot. I ended up stopping at the Harmony Road crossing, and after waiting for about 10 minutes (with lots of curious stares from passing traffic and the survey crew that was working there) the train showed up, and not in very much of a hurry about it.
After the train departed northwards, I rode up to downtown Milwaukie and waited another 10 minutes for the southbound Yellow Menace train I’d previously seen stopped at the signal just south of the Springwater Trail bridge. But no such luck – apparently I wasn’t the only person who was feeling sluggish today, and that southbound train never materialized on me.
