Mooring line on a dock at Astoria Marine Construction Company (AMCC) located at the confluence of Jeffers Slough and the Lewis and Clark River - Astoria, OR.
Factoid:
Astoria Marine Construction, originally called Astoria Shipbuilding, was started in 1924. AMCC was originally a builder of fishing boats but became a leading builder of pleasure craft, including the Columbia River One Design. During the 1920s-1950s, AMCC built minesweepers, tugs and patrol boats for the military. It continues in business today as a repair yard.
During the almost nine decades of operation, chemicals used in boat building and repair have contaminated soil, groundwater and sediments. Investigations at the site revealed the petroleum, organotins, and heavy metals among the contaminants. The site has been proposed to the EPA's National Priorities List of contaminated sites.
This is basicly a long exposure shot (0,5 sec) taken through the window of a moving bus on a dark evening. Captured it on the same busride as I did with my other image "Alfred and the twins".

The train bridge on the left can be lifted, for long ago this was the way to the Stock Yards by boat. It closed around 1971 and this "L" bridge cannot be lifted. The next time you go south right over the river, look at the building on the right and you can see an abandoned elevated track going in between the two buildings.
