After Amtrak #500 cleared Ruston, the UP garbage train lead by two brand new AC4400-CTE's heads out of Main 2 and into single track that leads to the tunnel.

After the UP garbage train cleared Ruston, this set of light power headed out. This is a going away shot, but it would really work either way!

This morning's 500 is being shoved into the tunnel by F59PHI 467. It had to wait at Pioneer for the Coast Starlight to clear so he could crossover to Main 1. There was a garbage train and a some... (more)

A nice mix of old and new GE power leads this refrigerator train past the switch at Nelson Bennett.

Distributed power on the grain train. The train is slowing for a red signal at Ruston; the DS will talk him by it.

CP/SOO grain train just about to enter the tunnel. The Narrows Bridge can be seen in the background.

This CP/SOO grain train, lead by a pair of AC4400's and an SD90MAC-H, cruises up the banks of the Puget Sound.

A grain train lead by a Tier-II compliant GE Evolution Series (GEVO) unit stops to wait for a baretable train. This gave me the opportunity to take some detail shots of the unit.

The M-VAWEVE with an almost pure BN green SD40-2 consist slows to a stop after the UP stack train. He got the light about five minutes after this photo.

This BNSF work train is picking up old ties and spike barrels off the side of the tracks. I decided to pace this one in my boat all the way from MP12.5 to MP 6.7 where the tracks plunge into a tu... (more)

This BNSF manifest train eases off the dynamics as he comes around the curve at Titlow.

A full UP garbage train rounds the curve with the dynamics roaring. These things literally stink!

Amtrak's Coast Starlight #11 speeds around the curve at 50mph on this sunny Monday. It is actually on time today.

This matched trio of UP SD70M's leads this stack train out of the tunnel after Amtrak #11. The signal at the switch behind me flipped to green as the train entered the north portal of the tunnel.... (more)
