If youve ever chased a train on HWY 99 (definitely recomend it as long as it's not Amtrak... you'll never catch it), theres a good chance you'll see a pair of large former drawbridges and wonder how to get there. (the ex-OE seen here was verticle lift, and the ex-SP this was taken from is was a swing bridge. Simple answer: you can't, not at least without a long hike and tresspassing making the only logical and legal way taking one from Amtrak. Built by OE, now owned by BNSF and leased to PNWR. The OE line directly parrallels the UP (ex-SP) main from Harrisburg to Eugene. |
