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. |

Adams Avenue Street Running |
| 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. |

Waiting |
| Description: |
The evening crew is waiting for the last southbound WES train to clear the yard so they can get to work. I think the third locomotive is 2304 but I'm really not sure. It never got close enough for me to see. |
