@@matthewadventureexploratio6596 yeah. It would be very expensive though and hard to build because Boones Ferry would have to also be underground. It’s better if the tracks went on a bridge and the Tualatin WES station was elevated

If I were to build a Double track mainline, I would bring Amtrak services and make it easier for people from tualatin and Sherwood to travel to California.

I remember something. There used to be a railroad in garden Oregon that used to connect between Beaverton and Portland. And there was also the Burlington Northern railroad in Orenco between Hillsboro and Beaverton and it used to be a right of way before that BN railroad was converted into the blue line after BN sold the railroad to the Max line with the Forest grove line between Hillsboro and Forest grove being the last one to remain until The Portland and western abandoned the line In 2023.

Yes, but it was the line between banks and Tillamook that got abandoned due to the 2007 washout. And I hate it being converted into a trail. But if I was a billionaire I would rebuild the line and I would have lobbied against the Salmonberry project and also take it to court to stop them from making the project.

Why did you film here and not a crossing that uses real horn instead of the fake crossing horns. I wanted to hear 1003's powerful flat cab k3la.
