UP #1307 working near Terminal 6 at the Port of Portland, and judging
from her appearance it definitely wasn't "Saturday night"! She is a

We have two Genesee & Wyoming operations in the Portland area. One is the
Willamette & Pacific and the other is the Portland & Western. They intertie
at McMinnville. The WPRR goes south and the PNWR goes north. They have
a couple of SW 1200's. One is in the G&W paint scheme and the other is
still in the bicentennial scheme
