There’s a little paved path across the old Oregon Electric Railway tracks at Burkhart Street in Albany. It’s on one of my bike routes through town, and I spent a few minutes there on October 8, trying to decipher the lettering that graffiti artists had left on the cars.

Watching Train 11 as it crosses my path
Watching a train go by in close proximity is one of the rewards of riding a bike around Albany. You can stand and watch close to the tracks at pedestrian crossings such as the ones at Burkhart or Pine streets.
