I don't know if they were security officers or just bikers.. but they said I could hop the railing onto the waterfront, so I quickly collapsed my tripod, slung my camera around my neck and started climbing. Worth the shot.

From my recent trip to Portland. I got lucky with nice weather and beautiful view from the Pittock mansion. I am going to process the photographs of the mension. Pretty nice place with interesting history.
Amtrak Dash 8 510 leads the northbound Coast Starlight out of Portland, an hour and 37 minutes late. The presence of the P42 in the pepsi can scheme is somewhat ironic, a scheme (once) unique to the Dash 8 trailing behind a Dash 8 in regular colors. Irony aside, I was happy to get a better shot of a Dash 8 leading, not to mention happy to get out of the house after spending 3 weeks sick with mononucleosis. This was one of the first things I did after getting over the illness, and just walking around outside and climbing up ballast had me huffing and puffing, funny how 3 weeks of being bed ridden will do that to you. Considering Amtrak's ongoing equipment problems and the unreliability of the new Siemens equipment, I really don't think this is the last time we'll see this.
