I agree with Greg. Portland had lots of industrial clutter, with the bridges across The Willamette River almost always in the shot somewhere.
Fun Fact : the Spring 2022 issue of SP&S Historical Org.'s newsletter contains the interesting revelation that SP&S and successor Burlington Northern ran RPO's - at the request of U.S. Post Office Department - right up until April 30th, 1971 between Spokane & Portland !!! And not just for storage mail either, but 30 foot and even 60 foot WORKING RPO's !!! The cars were longer of course, however the Post Office Department requested space in per foot increments.
