I believe you have found the Brooklyn Round House in Portland OR. Not only is the SP&S steamer there, that is the home of SP 4449 and Dole's PA-1 rescued from Mexico. Notice the NKP RSD5 sitting next to the F7? Yes quite a collection. Rumor has it they need to find a new home, UP wants to sell the property.
never mind, kitsune beat me to the punch, and he is absolutly correct

Some very cool sites! Those were the cameras I was watching. So in that situation It wasn't that unusual to see them backing that many that far. Was cool to watch. :thumb: :thumb:

Not only was it cool to se the yards, but there were some trackside industries that should give lots of ideas. :thumb: :thumb:
