PNWR Harbor Turn Chase - Part 5
[Folkenberg (Tunnel Spur) to Hillsboro (Schefflin)]

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 five parts.

In part 5 (the LAST part), the Harbor Turn climbs over Cornelius Pass once more to make it through the Cornelius Pass Tunnel. Then, it travels over a small wooden trestle in Helvetia on it's way to Banks (I got there just at the right moment to get that shot. A second more, I would have not been able to get it). Finally, the Harbor makes one more trip through Schefflin on it's way to Tigard. This was really a fun chase and trip. Hope you enjoyed the chase too!
