On the south edge of Portland, Oregon, looking east. That's the Ross Island Bridge just left of center, which carries US 26. The river is the Willamette. The tram starts just off I-5 and runs up the bluff to the west to the campus of the Oregon Health & Science University. It's open to the public, fare $4.25. Thanks to Don Barrett for this link: www.gobytram.com Inserts are (left) the view just to the left, showing Mt. Hood shrouded by clouds; and (b) the tram gondola on the other cable, descending.

Looking east; Willamette River in the background. Interstate 5 is hidden by the trees just in front of the high rises.

View eastward from the Portland (Oregon) Aerial Tram. Mt. Hood is one of the more famous Cascade stratovolcanoes. It would be more spectacular if it weren't shrouded by cloud! It's a dangerous volcano and Portland is at risk.

Pioche, Nevada, USA. It carried silver-lead-zinc ore from the mine to the Godbe Mill in the 20s and 30s.

Carrying silver-lead-zinc ore to the Godbe Mill, active in the 20s and 30s. Looking slightly east of north.

Pioche, Lincoln Co., Nevada, USA. A silver-lead mill, active in the 20s and 30s. This was the destination of the tramway carrying the ore buckets.

Now a planter along Main Street in downtown Pioche, Nevada! This was one of the buckets off the tramway that carried ore to the mill in the 20s and 30s. The cables are largely still in place.

Pioche, Lincoln County, Nevada, USA. This was the upper end, where the ore was loaded from the mine. The tram ended at the mill below town. It was active in the 20s and 30s.

Pioche, Lincoln County, Nevada, USA. What it says-- The mine was a silver-lead-zinc producer. (Wikipedia says "nickel", which shows how you can't trust Wikipedia!) It's "pee-OATCH", btw.
