Did anyone notice, the BNSF no longer comes to Eugene, OR. It changed hands 2 weeks ago and is now PW Portland Western, a short line of the larger short line systems, I believe it's part of Rail Tex, but not sure. Gone are GP38's now PW operates with SD45's ? I'm not sure what they are. Distintive whistle, though as I live less 1 mile from their track. This used to be SPS (Spokane, Portland and Seattle,then the BN but before that, the Oregon Electric, an inter-urban Portland to Eugene in 1920's. Stations West historical book also states that was a freight hawler, too. That route would make an excellent modern comuter rr if upgraded to high-speed trackage. That way comuter rr would not be waiting for UP to allow it time on its main line Eugene to Portland to Seattle. Blah, blah, blah I know, you're getting tired of hearing me. Thanks for listening.
