Portland is heavily quarried for its famous Portland stone. At Portland Bill evidence of quarrying is visible right by the sea. The very rusty crane must once have been used to load small ships with stone, but is now used to hoist boats out of the water. Partly buried rails still poked out of the eroded ground leading to this quay, showing how stone was brought to this point.

Coast Starlight and Portland part 1, 22 January 1981
In January 1981, the Coast Starlight was the last Amtrak train in the western US to use steam heated equipment and Superliners were being introduced on the train.
I spent the nights of 21 and 22 January riding to and from Portland on 14 and 11, getting steam heated equipment on both trains. I stayed up late the night of 21-22 January and saw the southbound Starlight when we met it in Sacramento River Canyon and that night's train had Superliners.
I took notes of the consist, but I'm not sure where they are right now.
The norhtbound train had an ex-ATSF Pleasure Dome as its lounge and the dome-parlor-obs from Wabash's Blue Bird on the end, as well as several dome coaches, including at least one from the NP.
I have more photos of the Starlight in Portland, but they will be in another album. This one has the trip north and things other than the Starlights that I shot in Portland.
After staying up late, I must have slept through Klamath Falls as my first photos are of the train at Odell Lake. There are a few more shots out the vestibule as we go over Cascade Summit, then we have a few shots in Eugene and some car interiors.
I grouped the Portland photos as BN and the Amtrak Pioneer, exterior photos of Union Station, interior photos of Union Station and a Portland Terminal Alco S2

I asked permission to take photos in almost all cases, and in all photos where I was aware of a child in the photo, I asked permission to take the photo and post here.
I did not ask permission for many group photos, where poses were being done for
photos, assuming that taking those photos was implied okay. If you have any questions please message me through my Flickr page. Thank you!
Some times I include photos of both front and back because often times cosplayers have created something elaborate on the back side - and they never get to see what it looks like!

The Portland High School was constructed in 1919-20 to replace the former high school destroyed by fire in 1918. With an addition constructed in 1936, the school meets national register criterion A for housing the entire Portland public school student population from Kindergarten through twelfth grade from 1920 when it was completed until 1953, when the student population could no longer be contained in the single building. In the 1950s two elementary schools were constructed to house the growing Portland school population, and in 1967 the 1919-20 building was converted into the junior high school when a new high school was constructed. In 1969 the auditorium stage ceased to be used, although the gymnasium continued to serve the junior high school students. In 1991 the 1919-20 building was vacated and sold when a newer high school was constructed and the 1967 high school was converted to the middle school. The Portland High School period of significance is 1919 when construction of the building began until 1963 when it ceased to function as the high school building. The Portland High School is also significant under criterion A because the school’s auditorium/gymnasium
during the building’s early years provided the community’s largest gathering space, used not only for graduation ceremonies and other school-related functions, performances, and sporting events but also for local events of all kinds during the building’s first thirty-five years from the early 1920s to around 1956. The Portland High School’s 1936 addition also meets criterion A as an important local Depression-relief project carried out using assistance from the federal Works
Progress Administration (WPA). School-related lectures, concerts, plays, and commencements were primarily conducted at the
Portland Opera House from 1885 until around 1918, because the previous 1881 high school that
burned could not accommodate large gatherings. The 1920 Portland High School’s combined auditorium/gymnasium could seat up to 500 and provided a place for the whole school to meet together for general sessions, announcements, or lectures by visiting speakers, as well as for commencement exercises. The new High School Auditorium also served as an important
meeting place for local events during the building’s first thirty-five years from the early 1920s until around 1956.
The 1936 Portland High School addition is significant under Criterion A for its association with the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The WPA was one of the largest New Deal agencies
developed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to mitigate the effects of the Great Depression. The WPA program created jobs, and paid unemployed workers to carry out public projects such
as schools. The Portland High School addition presents an important record of the federal relief programs administered in small communities throughout Michigan during the Great Depression.
I photographed this sign a few weeks ago and IwateBuddy complained that he could not see a pointer to Japan. Well, here it is: Sopporo, 4456 miles that-a-way.
The building in the background is one of the oldest buildings in the downtown Portland area. It is called the Pioneer Courthouse. I think it is used as a post office now.
Thank you to so many of you whom have followed my work this year. And to all of the new wonderful photographers whom I've met in Portland this last year. You have all opened my eyes and allowed me to think outside of the box. Many of you have been a huge inspiration to me.
On that note, I plan to shoot more INSIDE of the box in 2012. I have a huge vintage camera collection that needs some rekindled affection. I will shoot film again. I will do alternative processing and printing again.
Other than that, I have big plans for 2012. A list, that is perhaps a bit too long. Either way, I just plan to LIVE LIFE.

Hadlock Field is home to the Portland Sea Dogs, the Eastern League Double-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox. Opened in 1994, it has a seating capacity of almost 7,000 and is named after long-time Portland High School baseball coach Edison Hadlock.
After affiliating with the Boston Red Sox in 2003, the Maine Monster, a replica of Fenway Park's the Green Monster, was added to left field. A replica Citgo sign and Coke bottle were also added to make the field look even more like Fenway Park. Previously they were affiliated with the Florida Marlins since becoming an Eastern League expansion team in 1994.

One from the archives, taken on a rather cloudy morning on the Portland coast. I didn't like it to start with but it's growing on me.
