| Built in 1917 by Pullman as El Paso & Southwestern #500, transferred in 1924 to SP #128 SANTA ROSA, refurbished in 1937, sold in 1968 to Yreka Western #68, transferred in 1993 to KYLE #13, sold in 2004 to private ownership #415 NILES and moved to Redwood City, sold in 2011 to Oregon Pacific. The #415 is crossing the 2nd of 2 diamonds installed on the Oregon Pacific just south of the ORHF roundhouse where the new Metropolitan Area Express (MAX) Orange Line to Milwaukie crosses the OPRR just east of the new Tilikum Crossing over the Willamette River; the diamond seen in the photo is the eastbound track of the Orange Line, the westbound diamond is out of frame to the lower left. In this case, the new crosses the old, as the Oregon Pacific is the remaining segment of the Portland Traction Company interurban line to Milwaukie and Oregon City.
