Remarks: My heartfelt thanks to whoever put this coal train together with the DPU facing the "right" way. A couple days of no rain and fairly clear skies (clear for the PNW), and this scene comes together. Mt Rainier and a KCS Belle, hard to beat!

Remarks: The second Mt Rainier Scenic Railroad's triple header excursion featuring the recently restored Willamette. In fact, she's not quite finished. That's not a stainless steel boiler jacket, it's just not painted yet. The ticket holders got quite an event for their money, starting late (the third run of the day) and ending even later. Here she poses with her stable mates, Hammond Lumber Co. 2-8-2T #17 and Hillcrest Lumber Co. 3-truck Climax #10, while the passengers disembark.

Remarks: How many railroaders does it take to turn a locomotive? Well if you're using an armstrong turntable to turn a SW1200, apparently it takes four. With the major part of the railroad out of service due to a washed out bridge, this doesn't happen nearly as often as it used to.

Remarks: The latest in my "Mt. Rainier and Trains from Across the Sound" series. A late Cascades 516 has just rolled through the signals at CP Pioneer and past the Chamber's Bay Golf course and it's signature "Lone Pine". Most of the passenger's are probably taking in the view of the south Puget Sound and the developing sunset. Perhaps a few have noticed the cloud capped volcano above the golf course. Taken from Fox Island.

Remarks: The passenger's aboard Cascades 509 have just emerged from about a minute of darkness, to be treated to a great view of the Tacoma Narrows on the Puget Sound. But they can't see what we can... Mt. Rainier, with a fresh coat of snow from a recent weather system. Click Here for another view from across the Sound. . Taken from across the Narrows in Gig Harbor.

Remarks: UP's Electronic Brake test train crosses the Puyallup River on it's way to join the BNSF Seattle Sub at CP Reservation, a few hundred feet away. The mighty Puyallup river is brown with mud, after flowing from it's source, Mt. Rainier, seen in the background. On it's way from the Volcano to the Sound, it flows under 18 bridges. UP's bridge is one of four railroad bridges over the river.

Remarks: The Navy's diminutive switcher stands guard over a verrrry interesting load. In the background is the decommissioned USS Independence (CVA-62). Concensus seems to be that this is a shipping and insertion tube for Trident missiles.

Remarks: A trio GE's lug an empty grain train over BNSF's Scenic Sub and across the bridge at Sunset Falls. Could there be a more apt name for a subdivision? Taken as part of a photo excursion weekend. Click Here for a photo of this train rolling through Skykomish, by Ross Fotheringham.

Remarks: Amtrak Cascades 507 is doing it's station stop at Tacoma, using the recently re-aligned trackage. The third main addition project is nearing completion, as is the new "D" street bridge. Vista's of the Tacoma Yard are now easily obtained from the new bridge. Oh, and vehicles no longer have to wait while BNSF does it's switching. Of note are the three new mains (light gray ties) just to left of the Cascades train. The original two mains are the track on which the BN geep is sitting. They ran just to the left of the single visible bridge support. Moving the mains further south, widened the curve that is just out of frame (below) and allowed track speed to be increased from 10 mph to 30 mph.

Remarks: The star of the show heads back to the shops a little early. What show? A triple header with Mt. Rainier Scenic's two other operating steamers. The Willamette made it's revenue debut after the restoration was finished earlier in the week. A great job by all involved. Click Here for some historical information on this locomotive from the Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad site. Be sure and wander over to the reservations section and get your self set up for a ride.

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). Click Here for a winter view of this bridge.

Remarks: The day I've been waiting for! A stunning sky, roaring river and a Warbonnet sandwich. Sunset falls rarely looks better. Ross Fotheringham's Hot Rails event is about halfway done on this rather hot July weekend and we've seen plenty of trains and some pretty decent weather.
