Okay, thanks for the tip, I'll have to check it out, about what is the average length of cars in that area? I would say anywhere from 75-100+ cars. <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by spbed</i> <br /><br />Yes I was their las May. Their is a street about 1 mile south of where the bridge that goes between Washington & Oregon is. If you can believe it right their is the junction point where the split occurs for the UPRR going down the I5 corridor or coming or going to Idaho or coming & going from the Portland Terminal area. There is plenty of places to park and get good shots safely. The I line crosses the street then passes into or out of a tunnel. I was lucky to get headon shots on a northbounder exiting the tunnel. I found the spot by using Mapquest I started at Vancouver Wa then found the crossing point over the rive then moved south & located the juncture point. Good luck & enjoy. It about 1 hours time I saw 8 trains going in all different directions. one word of caution if you like speed this is not the place. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by UnionPacificRR6737</i> <br /><br />I'm thinking about going to Portland for the weekend sometime in June and what would be the places to where you recommend watching the trains go by? <br />[/quote] <br />[/quote]
