Union Pacific's Portland Subdivision
Climbing
gently from the tidewater ports near Portland, Oregon is the Columbia
River Gorgea wide, flat-water river passage that provides access to
the inland agricultural regions of Washington and Oregon and divides
the two states along most of their border. It is a spot of unparalleled
beauty that hosts two railroad lines: BNSF to the north and Union
Pacific along the southern shore.
In Columbia River Gorge Volume
I: BNSFs Fallbridge Subdivision, Pentrex explored the BNSF side of the
Gorge, heading east from Vancouver, Washington to the arid desert
mountains near the John Day Dam. Now, in Volume 2, we jump across the
river to head back west toward Portland following Union Pacifics
Portland Subdivision. Well visit many of the regions best railfanning
spots, such as Biggs, Celilo Park, The Dalles, Memaloose State Park,
Mosier, and Hood River with the Mount Hood Scenic Railroad. Well
travel through the Viento State Park area to Wyeth, Cascade Locks,
Bonneville Dam, and the spectacular Multnomah Falls. At Troutdale, the
mainline splits into two routes to Portland and well visit the
junction there before heading into the city.
The trains youll
see include Canpotex unit potash trains, Spokane International mixed
freights, container, grain, trailer, and stack trains, and Amtraks
Pioneer. Motive power varies from SD40-2s to SD60Ms, SD70Ms, leased
SD90MACs, Dash 40-CW, AC4400-CW, GE AC6000, Geeps, and more. CP, BNSF,
and C&NW power also make appearances. These images were captured
from the mid 1990s to the early 2000s, giving you a chance to see some
of the older and newest power in use. With its incredible scenery and
nonstop parade of interesting trains and motive power, its no wonder
UPs Portland Sub is one of the best railroading hotspots of the nation!
