UP 4455 South has just met Amtrak #14 (The Coast Starlight) in Vancouver, WA, on April 7, 2009. It is slowly rolling toward the north end of the Columbia River drawbridge where it is facing a red board. I believe it was to await Amtrak #8 (Portland section of the Empire Builder) before crossing the bridge.
