Another day, another train shot in Albany. But why not? Our town, after all, is a railroad town. Here, take a look:
The train horn in the distance sounded like it came from the Union Pacific’s mainline. I was in the Willamette Neighborhood on a bike ride, so I hustled over to my favorite grade crossing to see what I could see.
At the risk of overdoing the railroad theme on this blog, here’s yet another train episode.
I had heard about an interesting artifact in railroad history at the Albany yard of the Portland & Western. Looking for it Saturday, I found it on a track near where Ferry Street runs into the east side of the yard.
Those phone numbers posted at rail crossings? Guess what: Somebody actually answers when you call.
Watching Coast Starlight leave the station
On Saturday afternoon, I was cruising through the parking lot of Albany Station when the Amtrak’s Coast Starlight just happened to pull into the station.
