Bridge Town

Looking north along the Willamette River on the hike and bike trail. The first bridge is the Broadway Bridge , built in 1912 . The bridge in the background is the the Fremont Bridge , built in 1973 .
The 630 foot wheat tanker BALTIMORE , loading up before leaving for it's destination of Singapore .
The steel bridge , built in 1912 . With the bow of the BALTIMORE just visible on the left , an Amtrak train is crossing , about to enter Union Station, the Romanesque brick railway station that is just a 1/4 mile to the right , which was built in 1896 .

Seen from left to right : a loading crane , the 2 towers of the Convention Center , the large grain silos , the BALTIMORE tanker, the Steel Bridge with the light rail MAX train just crossing and in the foreground, an old salvaged anchor at a lookout point on the hike and bike trail .
