Columbia River Gorge Pat 1 Union Pacific's Portland Sub

This is the backdrop for Union Pacific's Portland Subdivision running 183 miles between Portland Oregon and Hinkle Yard. Many manifest trains make their way to and from UP's classification yard at Hink;le while expedited intermodel trains race between western ports in Portland, Tocoma and Seattle to major intermodal hubs in and around Chicago. With a gentle grade and easy curves, this water level route through the Cascde Mountains is ideal for long, heavy trains.
