Taking a little side trip

I had a marvelous brunch with my friend Debra yesterday. She's the kind of friend that you can spend hours with and not notice the time passing. As we did, for two hours.

Afterwards, I had put on my calendar to go take pics of trains and trucks from the bridge on SE Holgate just east of 17th Ave. But as I drove away from dropping Debra off, I completely forgot and headed off in the wrong direction.  I took the long way around to get back to where I wanted to be, and parked and walked across 17th to get to the bridge.

Here are some random shots:

What is a bobtail, and why does it need a special exit?
