Four ex-Santa Fe GP39-2s drag PNWR 663 through Portland's Pearl District towards Lake Yard where it will drop off its train and then run light power across the Willamette and Columbia Rivers to Vancouver, Washington where it will pick up its southbound train.
Portland has some cool buildings. Here’s a shot from a street-level perspective looking up at KOIN Tower, a 35-story Neo-Art Deco beauty...third tallest skyscraper in the city.
Happy Truck Thursday! An appropriate truck and setting given the weather most of the country has been experiencing! This surplus military truck was captured in the St.John's neighborhood of Portland, Oregon by my son Ian on one of his daily runs..
I discovered this old hauler in a driveway in North Portland (PDX) . Lots of traffic and no place to pull over, so this shot was the best available. HTT!
Early morning sunrise of Mt. Hood from the Interstate 5 walking/bike path over North Portland Harbor.
Happy Fence Friday! Amazing hand made fence on SE Division Street in Portland (PDX), Oregon.Hard to imagine how much timme and effort went into this fence, gate and wall!
At the height of the storm, pattern loaded with aircraft, winds gusting, raining sideways, and a very dark sky, three lights appeared out of the clouds... While the rest of the big guys and Next Gen 737s were bouncing around and speaking in shaky voices, this little Niner showed 'em how its done. Rock solid and down right on the mark. Proving the old fable: DC-9s kick ASS and ALWAYS will!
Jehu was in the June edition of PDX Magazine! She's such a goof, I swear. You'd think we couldn't afford a car, because we spend all our money on video games. >.<
Of all the airplane landings/takeoffs that I have experienced I love the approach to Portland, Oregon the most. Mt. Hood is spectacular in all weather.
I was really wondering if this was going to end up okay, keeping in mind I would not like to meet one of those landing gears face to face, a guy with his kid next to me went running a screaming for their lives!
Check out a shot of what I thought was the longest takeoff role I have seen of this flight: www.flickr.com/photos/49227843@N00/417289346/
