BNSF 6829 leads the southbound Vancouver,BC to Everett,WA manifest past the ex Great Northern depot at Blaine,WA bound for Everett,WA. The International Peace Arch on the USA-Canadian border stands in the background.

CPR 8934 on the point of a northbound empty grainer approaches the old US Rte 2/95 grade crossing at Deep Creek,Idaho.The train is passing under the BNSF Kootenai River Sub main a ways behind the power.It is headed for the border at Eastport,ID on the UP Spokane Sub.
BNSF 5919 leads a westbound Unit Coal Train across the Idaho Panhandle.It is approaching the Public Access Road Crossing to the Trestle Creek Recreation Area at MP 106.4 on the MRL 4th Sub.
BNSF 5963 leads its long loaded westbound grain train as it climbs the westbound grade at Naples,Idaho.The three AC units take the grade in
stride.There are an ES44AC and AC4400CW up front and a DPU AC4400CW pusher on the rear.
Believe the BNSF units come off at Thornton Yard,Vancouver and are replaced by CN units.Read in RAILFAN & RAILROAD that it is a BNSF contract and Price Rupert was the only facility on the west coast with capacity to handle coal shipments.There is usually a Roberts Bank bound BNSF coal train...
