ACs 2732 and 2735 for sure (and possibly 2733 and 2734 also) were used on the Eugene hump during the time they were mated with slugs. After they were separated from their slugs they entered the regular switcher pools. Can't say for certain whether they ever worked in Portland, but I do know that one of them (2735, I thnk) spent some time in the Bay Area.
