I was in the Portland Expo tonight for the Red Claws game, and afterwards I spent a little time looking closely at the mural of Union Station over the entrance to the arena. I noticed that there's a lot of detail there: camp buses to Camp Chipewa, a Porteous, Mitchell and Braun truck, a "Tours of Portland" poster. Most of all, there are 4 trains depicted on the tracks at the station, and I am wondering if anyone knows anything about the steam engines shown, or even if they existed at all.
Track 1 (I have no idea how the tracks were originally numbered, so I'm starting closest to the station and moving compass-west): MEC 462
Track 2: the Flying Yankee; we have a whole thread on this one already
Track 3: BM 3686
Track 4: MEC 164.
Any ideas or info would be appreciated.
