Remarks & Notes

With less than a month to go before the March 1980 embargo, Milwaukee's Sumas Turn crosses the BN mainline along the Bellingham waterfront. After adding a few cars, the train will head for Tacoma on BN rails as Train 905, the Bellingham Time Freight. Power for the train includes rebuilt SD10s 559 and 550, and GP9 284.

Do you ever get the feeling as a model railroader, that you just might be creating something not "prototypical?" Same here.
