    Cascades on one end and Amtrak 511 B32-8WH on the other very rare pair on t

    The red signal from the controlled siding can be seen reflecting off the side of 353 as it pulls out of Niles with Cascades in the lead and Amtrak's 511 pushing. It was worth standing in a light mist for this shot. You can see it crossing 5th street as it leaves.
