THE LATEST FRA REPORT FROM 1995 SAYS THAT 6 TRAINS USE THIS SPUR CROSSING DAILY. BESIDES, NOT ONLY THAT, HOW CAN 6 DAILY TRAINS GO BY, IF THERE'S ALWAYS A TRAIN BLOCKING ANY OTHER TRAINS FROM GETTING TO THE CROSSING? THE FRA ALSO MISTAKENS THIS CROSSING FOR A MAIN LINE, INSTEAD OF A SPUR LINE.

Very old signals protect this crossing that looks like it's dying. Picture 3 shows very high brush covering very rusty rails. |

Picture 4 faces the other way. The right spur is removed, although the left one still remains, but goes through some very tight space in between trees.
Picture 5 shows a WALK/DON'T WALK sign converted to a "NO RIGHT TURN" signal. It seems a little burned in the center. This could mean the crossing has seen a lot of activity, or trains blocked the crossing for extended periods of time.
Picture 6 shows a lot of ballast covering the tracks. The rails are still here, they are buried. |

Both crossings have teardrop crossing bells, and RACO style gates. I'd say this line is either defunct, or facing abandonment. The end of the tracks is right next to Beaverton-Tigard Freeway (SR 217) |
