PNWR Harbor Turn Chase - Part 1
[Beaverton (Farmington Rd.) to Hillsboro (Susbauer Rd.)]

On a very nice Saturday morning of May 16th, the Harbor Turn takes off from Tigard onroute to Harbor in Linnton, Oregon. The Harbor had PNWR 2314 (GP39-2), PNWR 2303 (GP39-2), and PNWR 2306 (GP39-2) that day and I decided to chase this train on it's adventure. This was my first actual chase of a frieght train and I had over 70 minutes captured to edit. Since I can't post one, 70 minute video, I'm splitting my chase up into about seven parts.

In part one, I first catch the Harbor blazing along Farmington Road on it's way into Hillsboro to turn and head towards Banks. Then, we pace it along side TV Highway and speed up to Garabaldi Street (Mahan Siding) to get a warm horn welcome of "Smoke On The Water" (being played by our very own Matt Adams). Finally, we catch our train passing by Susbauer Road crossing, on it's way to Schefflin, and then onto Banks.

Special thanks to Matt Adams and Kayla Frates.
