If you like passenger trains, you’ll like Amtrak’s new Airo trains even better.
As you know, I can’t resist recording a passing train when I get the chance. So:
Linn County has been heavily invested in the multimillion-dollar Mid-Willamette Valley Intermodal Center in Millersburg since the beginning.
The Millersburg intermodal shipping center was intended to play a big part in transportation and the Willamette Valley’s economy. It hasn’t yet lived up to that intent, but some freight has begun moving through the place.
Every once in a while it is good to remember that Albany is a stop on one of the premier passenger train routes in America.
On Thursday the bike took me to the Santiam Road railroad crossing in Albany just as a crew from Union Pacific wrapped up replacing the signal box that controls crossing gates and lights.

Another day, another train.
