for two and one-half hours in North
P o rtla n d F rid a y . T h e tra in re p o r­
tedly carried 200 nuclear warheads
to the Trident base.
A lth o u g h the d em o n stra to rs

path fro m A m a r illo , T exa s, to
Bangor. W ashington, only in P o rt­
land was the train stopped.
A p p ro x im a te ly ISO p ro testo rs

on the tracks; 35 were arrested.
T h e t r a in ’ s guards w atched

fro m the tracks, only to have them
return.
In addition to the evidence o f will
and c o m m itm e n t o f the d e m o n ­

ments. Their number grew to about
50, w ith six horses. T h e n the
Oregon State Police marched up in
riot helmets, armed with batons. A
T ri-M e t bus was called to carry the
protesters to ja il. It did not arrive
but a school bus did. Finally, the jail
bus a rriv e d and the arrests could
begin. In the m e a n tim e , the
protesters were singing, " W e Shall
Overcome” .
A t 3:38 p .m ., about 216 hours a f­
ter its unplanned stop, the " D e a th
