One reason I like Portland, Oregon, is it's just plain cool to have highway bridges, train yards and freighter docks all together in one place. I swear, in some respects California is boring. All I ever get is freeways.
There is a place to get good views of the train yard. Interstate 405 isn't it.
All of these were taken while trying to drive a rental in rush hour traffic in the rain, peering over the rims of a cheap pair of reading glasses at a map so I could make sure I hit the right freeway towards the airport and didn't end up halfway to Seattle.
An iron drawbridge with an electric train on it. What could be cooler than that?
Container freight beating the traffic out of town. I am easily entertained.
Final destination, where airplanes make circles around a great concrete fertility symbol. By the way, the Hertz franchise at PDX is staffed entirely by Russians. Just sayin'.

This Ford Festiva str-rrong like bull. You will like.
You gotta hang out in Oakland more. There's at least three bridges, and an enormous railyard.
