CANT DO THAT TODAY

I speak my mind, if you don't like that oh well. I'll have you fill out a hurt feelings report and submit that to my office.

That's actually Portland in the mid-1910s. The view you see is now here:

You think your car gets bad mileage? SP 4449 consumes 10 gallons of bunker oil and 100 gallons of water every mile.

Re: train going through floodwaters
Oh yeah...a LONG time ago. The last train ran the street tracks on 3rd Avenue in the late 1970s, I believe. And on 2nd Avenue and Water Avenue around 1991, if memory servers correctly. They tore out quite a few of the tracks on 2nd Avenue last year but I'd say about half still remain. The ones on Water Avenue were paved over but not very well...you can clearly see them now including many of the spurs that used to serve industries down there.legsbluetrain wrote:track taken upAndrewFields wrote:That's actually Portland in the mid-1910s.
