[photos] Trains and the Child

and I shot some derelict railway equipment during our father-daughter day on Saturday. This is rolling stock and equipment associated with the Portland Traction Railway, a very small spur line in this area which runs active freight and passenger excursion operations.

Some photos:

Note the yellow jackets nesting inside the engine.

The sign on the building reads “O. W. P. & Ry. Co. Substation 1905″

I believe this is one of the Great Northern Pullmans I photographed in NE Portland several years ago.

As usual, more at the Flickr set.
