I took the opportunity on a gloomy day to do a little railfanning up at the Oregon Zoo along the famous Washington Park route. I was able to catch all three trains in action, including the steam locomotive No. 1 the "Oregon", which was operating for the weekend. I apologize if some shots are a little lopsided as there was hardly any level ground for my tripod. Most of the shots are in roughly the same location, since most of the track is inaccessible by road or foot. Anyway, I hope you enjoy!
