Remarks: One of many great locations along the Scenic Sub, Deception Creek is much easier to reach when the only snow around is on the nearby mountain peaks. BNSF has kindly provided a Z train to complete the scene. A few minutes earlier it exited the Cascade Tunnel as is now slowly descending the grade to Skykomish (or what's left of it).

Remarks: The curved Foss River trestle provides the setting for this dramatic illustration of the forces involved in moving a rail car from one place to another. Just a couple feet from falling 75' or more to the river below, one of the wheels of this car reflects the concrete ties and rails it has yet to travel . The near perfect alignment of the ties and seemingly glued in place ballast brings to mind a meticulous model railroader's handiwork. Click Here for another photo from the Scenic Sub.
Remarks: A Link Light Rail train rolls to a stop in the sparkling new Beacon Hill Station. All of Link Light Rail stations and facilities feature art work. Some more artistic than others. The Beacon Hill station's art follows the theme of deep sea creatures.
Remarks: Ahh, the newest entry in the Zero Emissions contest and one of CEECO's last releases before shutting down. Just about ready for it's next (and last) assignment this Alco C415 was saved from the scrappers torch and is headed for display in the City of Fife. This may be the only locomotive from which CEECO removed the power plant and the locomotive didn't end up as scrap.
