A Yellow Menace freight train disturbs the dignity and repose of my trip out to Gresham by forcing me to stop and take pictures of it today around noon. This was worse than just seeing the train and stopping for pictures; I was about ¾ths mile away when I heard the train whistling for downtown Milwaukie, and so I had to turn around and sprint as fast as I could (which, to be honest, isn’t all that fast; when I sprint on the xtracycled Trek, it’s maybe 40 km/h, and that only for a matter of (a very few) minutes) to get back to where the Springwater trail crosses the SPYellow Menace mainline so I could take this picture.
