I saw something rather interesting yesterday on the Portland Subdivision. A very short stack train, maybe 10-15 wells, three units up front and one DPU east of the Dalles. The train kept up with me all the way to Boardman, where the signal indicated it was going into the hole. That's pretty good in the Gorge where I84 is posted at 70mph (except for 13 mile stretch of 45 mph west of Arlington). The last train that could keep up with me (actually get ahead of me) was the BN's Seattle - New York city train that I'd see along highway 28 in central Washington State, back when the speed limit was 55 mph.
The were some bare wells along with some domestic containers on this speedster.
