Mr. Moore pretty much hit the spike on the head.
The blue passenger car belongs to a resident of the nearby Garthwich neighbor hood and has evolved pretty much as Jeff said.
Traffic on the line is inbound frozen pizza cheese (78 286K cars in 2017) and outbound floor sweepings from a fish processing facility (56 263K cars in 2017) that they make into pet food.
Our East Portland Division also runs an excursion train on Saturday afternoons beginning in March and hosts the Holiday Express featuring the SP 4449 or SP&S 700 at Christmas time.
Jeff is also correct in that the majority of our revenue is generated on the Molalla Division.
