Description: The Burlington Northern Railroad [now BNSF] Bridge 5.1, spanning the Willamette River, in Portland, Oregon, seen here being crossed by a special excursion train hauled by Portland-based steam locomotive Southern Pacific 4449. The 516 ft (157 m)-long vertical-lift span, which replaced a 1908 swing span in 1989, is one of the highest such spans in the world, giving a clearance of 200 feet (61 m) below when fully raised. This view is looking west, with Forest Park in the background.
