Satellites don't account for switch moves.


This is a screen print from a Google Maps satellite image of the Rivergate industrial area of N.Portland. The P&W locomotive consist is not what it seems at first glance. There are not four road slugs, only two. The image has been spliced, and the locomotive consist has moved.  The P&W units are switching the potash terminal.


Turns out these are not P&W units, but leasers from Relco, please see the comment.

  1. Those are not P&W locomotives, they are leased units from RELCO (RLCX). http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=1808156
