New light rail trains passing through Portland

A tarped Siemens LRV sits underneath the yard tower at Portland Terminal Railroad's Lake Yard, presumably in interchange between Union Pacific to BNSF.  Not sure who this car belongs to but I will venture it's for Calgary.  Interestingly it sits on a black flatcar lettered for Southern Pacific; this is probably the first black SP car I've seen...and SP rolling stock is getting rarer and rarer every day.

How do you know that it's and LRV? It could be a WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION under that canopy!

hahaha!!!! Very good, but the military isn't that good at covering up stuff on the railroad network. Just look for cars whose reporting marks are DODX. If the train has a red caboose at the end of it then you know there's good stuff on board (usually just nuclear waste, though.)
