Crossing the Road |
| Description: |
A crossing that used to see up to ten trains per day relishes in this chance at action as 2302 shoves across Millikan Way. What is seen here is unlikely to be reproduced. This line is scheduled to be removed sometime this year. |

Stepping Out |
| Description: |
The Holcomb Creek Trestle is nearly 1200 feet long and almost 100 feet tall at its highest point. It is the longest and tallest active timber rail trestle in North America today and sees two trains each day, both of them the Harbor Turn. |

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

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 |
| 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 supplied the power for them. The P&W supplied the crews so while these are BNSF locomotives, it's a P&W crew. |

Far from their natural habitat of running Z trains across the plains, these two modern BNSF locomotives also bring intermodal cars to a line where log cars and timber products usually rule. |

| Description: |
P&W Train #663 normally routes through Lake Oswegon and onto UP's Brooklyn Sub at Milwaukie but lately the delays have been forcing the P&W to route the train over Cornelius Pass. Here is one such detoured train running down Adams Ave. in downtown Hillsboro. |

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 train 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. |
