About 2:15 Pm in Portland, a train stopped on the freight main such that it completely blocked both the Riverside St. And Blackstrap Road crossings. It might even still be there right now. Does anyone know what happened ?

I'm guessing it was a breakdown of some sort; they eventually ran some power up from Rigby (I assume... it was definitely from that direction) and got it moving.
