    Empire Builder at Sultan

    I tried a night shot of the Empire Builder near Sultan Washington on Stevens Pass. I was pleased with shot mainly because any car going down Highway two would have blown the lights out in the background. Instead for a solid five minutes not one car drove bye. Hear are the results.

    Not the Normal Slot Shot

    Amtrak's westbound Empire Builder crosses Nason Creek on its way up to summit-Cascade Tunnel. More railfans who shoot the slot would prefer to climb up the small hill behind me and have the large rock formation in the background. I decided to go with a different view of a train crossing Nason Creek.

    Amtrak #10 on the Portland Section of the Empire Builder.

    Amtrak #10 is the doing the honors of switching out a bad order car after being wyed with the switch crew at Portland's Amtrak Union Station. Looks like it could use a bath from the looks of the dirty front-side..
