    I'm drawing a blank on this junction location. Guess it has been too long since I'd last railfanned that area.

    I think those towers in the background are part of the I-5 drawbridge over the Columbia River. So this would be just north of the railroad swing bridge.

    OK. So we're just north or the Vancouver depot. Too many years. Scenery looks a bit different today.

    Just east actually. (I think. Need a compass next time) and those tracks are likely too new for you. This was 2011 and that was a partially complete reconfiguration of the industrial trackage around the area. I haven't been back since to see.
