Holiday Express 2017
Title:  Holiday Express 2017
Description:  It's December in Portland, which means SP 4449 is out on the little 4-mile short line south of downtown every Saturday and Sunday, trundling alongside the Willamette River with Santa Claus in tow. Poking along at 5 to 10mph ill-suits this mainline monster of an engine, and she'll probably be handing this job off to Oregon Rail Heritage Center's other two steamers once they are through their rebuilds.

Union Pacific parked on the mainline
Title:  Union Pacific parked on the mainline
Description:  A sextet of Union Pacific power sits parked by Union Station. The short cut of cars with such a long line of motive power seemed strange, as did the fact that they shut down all but one locomotive. Turns out the train had suffered a derailment; the front end of the train had gone on ahead to a spot where it wouldn't be blocking any grade crossings.
