In 1995, with the Union Pacific takeover of Southern Pacific on the horizon, I began to venture out to a few of the branch lines for photos. In Tualatin, there is a location where the SP Newburg line crosses the Oregon Electric line of the Burlington Northern. I was hoping only for a photo of the SP crossing the bridge, but when I got there a BN southbound was waiting. (See photo above.)
Hopeful of a shot where one train crosses over another, I waited. And I waited. And I waited. Finally the SP bound for Newberg ran (below). After it had crossed over the BN tracks, the BN moved south and crossed under the SP tracks (bottom photo).
