That Guy
...And I'm wondering what the club scene is like. Got a new job there driving motorcoaches. I know of the Columbia Gorge club, are there any others?
Albina and the Seattle Spiral are DCC capable. I'm not sure about Union Station, though. As far as bringing you own equipment, don't bother. I do not mean to sound harsh, but a guest coming in to run his own stuff might be looked down on. Especially since this is our "Busy Season"....and I believe the Portland yard and roundhouse area are still DC only as well.
A club like the Columbia Gorge is already well established with a lot of members and a lot of rules. It's easy for a ambitious new member to get frustrated in a club like that, so it's often better to try one of the newer less restrictive clubs like the Mount Hood or the Clackamas club.
