UP 3985 in Portland

[tnbriggs]

Does anyone know where the UP 3985 is holed up in Portland? I was there on business on 9/12 & 9/13 and both days managed late in the day to make it over to the Albina yards, which is where the UP steam trace website says it is, but all I could see were the coaches and the power car--no steamer in sight.

I don't know where the steamer is but the tracking equiptment is in the tool car. that's why the tracking shows it as being in Albina. I would check around union station.

Anyone know the schedule as to when it is leaving Portland? Am flying out there on the 22nd for nieces wedding and would love to catch this. Willy

There was no sign of it near Union Station; I read somewhere that they can't take it across the tight curves on the bottom deck of the Steel Bridge which would be the connection between Albina and Union Station--and that would be BNSF track. I'm guesing it's down at the Brooklyn yards but it's just a guess.

Check here for the schedule:
