This Space for Rent

WHERE IS THIS! The color of the rails suggests this is unused track. I do love this picture and I really want to know what the rail is for and where it is. And I love you and yours.

It’s actually a sculpture! It’s a treetrunk that’s been carved into a pair of stringers at one end, set up as a trestle, and with used rail (from the old Portland Traction mainline that the new interurban is on) laid on top.

Here’s an article about it: https://milwaukiereview.com/2015/08/05/orange-line-public-art-promotes-pride/

Thanks. Your photos are almost always completely wonderful. Especially any with trains or train equipment!

I’m glad this blog is back online! It was offline for just a short little while this week. First time commenter, short time reader. I have enjoyed the TriMet photos of all the different types of trains used over time. I’m more of a computer geek but geeking out about trains is kind of like a mental vacation from all that.
