Nice shot! What kind of lens did you use?

Where were you located? On a hill? Parking lot? Roof?

How easy is access to this place?

The BNSF main line from Union Station and Willbridge Yard crosses the St John's peninsula (in North Portland) through a deep cut (an interesting and under-photographed location, IMHO). The photo was taken from the Willamette Blvd. bridge which spans the cut. Easily accessible - feel free to PM me for more specific directions.

Photo was taken with my P&S digicam and a 2x teleconverter - 35mm equivalent at the long end is approx. 220mm.
