Update: We know you haven't heard from us in awhile... but we're still busy tracking trains along the Columbia River & in PDX. We're now trying a different (& exciting!) strategy & won't be keeping this updated as often.

🛑 How can you know if it's an oil train? Look for placard number 1267. 🛑

1267 = crude oil and/or tar sands. Both are polluting, flammable, explosive, and rolling through our neighborhoods. It must stop! Let's keep each other informed & alert.
