Remarks: New Link Light Rail trains emerge from darkness into the light on a regular basis now. Within a couple of months of the new lines opening, the new smooth, silent trains are still a wonder to those who see them in the Downtown Transit Tunnel. Sound Transit and Metro are still working out operational and signal issues that are plaguing any new system. The "bus tunnel", originally built in the 80's and opened in 1990, housed dual-mode diesel/electric buses until a retrofit in 2005 that readied the tunnel for new light rail service. The remodel took two years. During the time, Sound Transit and Metro installed new rails, centenary, electrical substations, and emergency ventilation systems, and lowered the roadway 2" so trains could be boarded levelly. In the foreground track, three lime road turtles spot a 2-car train. Longer 3-4 car trains are to stop a the next set just down the track. Here, at the south end of the Tunnel, accents of Asian culture dot the concrete and stone, open-air station.

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.

Remarks: Conrail local freight and MBTA RDCs down by the station, early inthe morning, on a cold day in january. The U boat has a snout only a mother could love.The RDC is still wearing the New York Central livery. The advantage of the RDC's had over coaches was you could not see the tracks through the holes in the floor.
