Thanks for filling me in also. I first visited Portland in 1993, and grabbed several shots, while standing on the Lovejoy Viaduct, of BN switchers on the Hoyt St. whisker tracks below. Now that I live in the Great Grey Northwest, and am a frequent visitor to the Rose City, I find myself lost & confused trying to find a viaduct that basically no longer exists.
BTW, for those who watch The Simpsons, Lovejoy St. was Matt Groening's inspirition for Reverend Lovejoy. As well, there is a Flanders St. in the downtown area. However, one street name, that is spelled as 'Couch ', ( i.e.- a piece of furniture ) is pronounced locally as 'Cooch'. What gives ???
