PNWR 2306 - PNWR 2315 - PNWR 3007 |
| Description: |
PNWR 2306 - PNWR 2315 - PNWR 3007 completing the local switch-r-roo from 3007 being in front for the northward journey across the Columbia River to 2306 to take point on the return trip. The trio paused between consists just north of the 39th Street bridge Im currently using for a brief moment of cover from the rain while trying to clean the lens and figure out my own stupidity for leaving early to church "so I could have at least 30 minutes of almost daylight" before darkness falls in another 15-20 minutes... turned out to be thirty extra minutes to perfect my wet dog smell which I achieved far quicker than expected wearing Sunday Goin-To-Meetin clothes. To all those seated in the neighboring pews, I apologize for putting serious pew into those same pews (honestly - in some societies wet dog smell is the aroma of royalty!). |

PNWR 2315 |
| Description: |
PNWR 2315 in the middle of three slipping past on the edge of the platform... and when youre shooting in the dark, rain no longer soaking into your clothes because youre completely saturated, and your foot is practically on the nose ladder steps, you sort of expect a little lens distortion and color shifts. |

BNSF 2721 - BNSF 1948 on the turn-table spur, BNSF 8361 and PNWR 2312 - PNWR 2315 - PNWR 2311 in background |
| Description: |
BNSF 2721 on the turn-table (as if on cue to prove me wrong ap Id recently pointed out Id never got to see it work... now I have - more later in this paragraph) recently disconnected from her sister BNSF 1948, and getting spun around to place them long nose - to - long nose. Out on the passing lane with northbound covered hopper pushing duty is BNSF 8361 whileÚQNWR 2312 - PNWR 2315 - PNWR 2311 trio waits to exit out of the north ladder yard with southbound local mixed freight into Portland. As for the round table / turn table... it was neat to watch, although being sunset and looking into the sun a little challenging (I know, complaining about cool train stuff, I feel funny doing it) - but the sound - talk about absolute let down (and my ears bleed for the poor workers) - theres no*deep rumble, no satisfying clanks or clicks - only high pitched, whines and squeals (you know, like trackside wheel sets that just screech to high-heaven and make your jaw ache). So save your money on the sound equipped DCC turn table option (hr hope our new table is just modern wussy sounds and the classic, pre-1950s version is more cool. |
