Southbound MP 5x on the Seattle Sub at 13:10. Amtrak Cascades with UP SD70 for power on the rear. Don't know if it's a late 513 or something else. No pic and no more info to follow.

Also, Northbound 506 had a P32

Thanks for the explanation. That indeed clears it up.

UP 3981 showed up in passenger service again today in Portland, this time on the point of the southbound Coast Starlight. It was a colorful power set, with the yellow SD70M followed by a P42 and a Cascades F59.

[edit] My, that 3981 has been busy! About an hour after arriving at Portland on the Starlight, it ran northbound light, then came back to Portland leading #507, coupled to the front of the NPCU, with a silent F59 #468 on the trailing (north) end of the train.

[another edit] ... and there goes 3981 again, pushing a two-hour-late #508 northbound out of Portland!
