    End location End location: Mt. Hood Brewing Co. Tilikum Station, 401 SE Caruthers St, Portland, Oregon 97214

    Ever get stuck by a long freight train in the Central Eastside? Fear no more! There are multiple ways to get around it & get on your way — some more obvious than others. I've lived or worked near these tracks for over 10 years and have a collection of detours to share. Elevators and stairs can be handy, but this route will demo detours which don't rely on those. Not a loop, but the end location is only 1/2 mile from the start. Ends at Mt. Hood Brewing Co (the pub/pizza joint in the parked train car near the east end of Tilikum Crossing). Biketown hubs available at both start and end locations.
