I mean... turn-table... through drizzly skies (if youve never been to the Pacific Northwest, it does take a little to get used to the fact sun or even blue skies (if and when they occur) can still be accompanied by rain - like in this shot where it looks like a sunset glare, but its really refracted light through the rain).

Up and Over
Title:  Up and Over
Description:  This connection was built in 2016 and opened less than a year ago. It allows trains to transfer between the Tillamook and United Districts without having to run around the tqain in Banks, as had been the case. It was the first heavy rail construction in the Portland area since the early 80s and this photo illustrates the significant grade"involved.
