Remarks: Morning at Highland Avenue - Seems a number of my favorite railroad images captured at the station in Fullerton feature the intermediate signals located 3/10's of a mile West of the train station at Highland Avenue in Fullerton California. On this day, I sought to include some type of visual reference to Highland Avenue in the photo - the street sign in the lower left hand quadrant or the image. Here, Amtrak Train #566 from Los Angeles enroute to San Diego approaches the station at Fullerton on a warm morning in November.
Remarks: A mid-afternoon southbound service pulls out of Mt. Baker Station; the train will shortly return to street level for the run down the Rainier Valley. The flared tips on the catenary poles are supposed to be an artistic representation of something or other, but frankly I can't remember what. (Thanks to Mike Bjork for suggesting this spot.)
Remarks: A lone Seattle-bound passenger awaits the next northbound train at Mt. Baker Station as a southbound departs for almost-the-airport (the extension to actually reach SeaTac opens December 19th). The translucent panels lining the elevated platforms give the station a pleasant golden glow in the early morning hours.
