| UP MWCPD30 - "The Portland" waits along the 101 for a turn at Gaviota Trestle. This daily train was nicknamed the "PeeDee." It ran from West Colton to Albina, OR (Portland) carrying mostly empties. It was later replaced by the MWCPT (aka "The Portland" or "PT Cruiser"). Sadly, "The Portland" no longer runs up the Coast. Delivered back in May of 2001, 4668 is one of 1,462 SD70Ms on UP's roster. This one has the older, flat radiators, indicating that it is not Tier One compliant. |
