WOW am I ever lucky to live in the Northwest! From Cascade Green, to Santa Fe War Bonnets, to H1 B-Units; there is always something dramatic to see on the Scenic Sub. I hope you like.

Derailment on the Scenic Sub at what use to be Everett Jct. Ten cars on the ground, and as you can see, one is in the drink. Note the rail in the water with it.

Quite the heat wake coming off this guy! Light breeze, temps in the lower 80d's, and a Warbonnet for lunch. Got to Love the NW!
