As with many places, Portland has undergone a lot of changes. I've been there a fair number of times, railfanning, swap meets and when my brother lived in Tualatin. My last trip, once away from the major RR yards, I was mostly uncertain of my location.
Boxcab, Are you from that area? If so I'd like to ask you questions. can we take this to another board?
The Portland Traction line from McLaughlin Blvd to Boring is now the Springwater Trail. The railroad was forced to abandon the line account the highway department wouldn't replace the bridge over McLaughlin Blvd when the road was widened.
No. From Puget Sound, but used to be in Portland frequently enough to know my way around the town and suburbs.
