Visiting Albany Oregon late October 2016

[Zoohogger]

Went for a brief visit to Oregon to see the GrandKiddos. Of course if you are near Albany you must go to Queen Ave and see what's happening.
We went looking for the P&W SD7 1501. Alas, it must have been in the shop. We were treated to a very clean 3003 switching there. The Albany and Eastern Hauler arrived with the
GE's and dropped some cars and picked up some.

4 then 3: While the AERC was on the other end of the yards the UP "Craft (or is it spelled Kraft) Local" came speeding through in reverse with some cold trainmen
hanging on for dear life.
1 and 2:Of course I can't seem to get the order correct.
If I remember correctly, the track under the bridge is the former Oregon Electric. I guess if you can't raise the bridge, then lower the track.

Then, Finally made the trip to Garibaldi, Oregon to see the changes at the headquarters of the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad.
A local resident living in the 90 and a cast steel drop center Flat car, then 2 views of the new tracks. The empty space between the 101(POTB GP9) and the 90(Baldwin 2-8-2) will be the site of the depot building.
