BNSF ES44C4 7175 leads an empty Amtrak Cascades through Nisqually, WA Northbound. The same train set was seen 4 hours before, sitting on the main in about the same location.
On Saturday, 3-9-2013, southbound Amtrak Cascades train #513 (right) passes northbound Amtrak Cascades train #510 at CP Logan at the north end of Stanwood siding.
My ride south, Amtrak 507, arriving Tacoma, WA last Saturday after a fun day at Freight House Square. I rode up and back from Olympia-Lacey. Shot was taken behind the safety line.
