  1. BNSF #795 East at Trinidad, Washington

    BNSF #795 East at Trinidad, Washington

    This is of BNSF #795 east leading a e/b stack train from Tacoma/Seattle area toward points east. He made good time up from Albus siding where he met a w/b Vehicle train (V-LPCPTL) and a w/b stack at Trinidad siding (S-CHCSEA). This spot is about 1/3 to 1/2 mile RR east of the east switch of...
  2. Bridges n' Stacks

    Bridges n' Stacks

    The now built second Tacoma Narrows Bridge is in the background, while a BNSF intermodal train heads south.
  3. So long IMS!

    So long IMS!

    IMS has seen massive traffic growth in the last decade, yet CN is scrapping theirs! These aren't old ones either, all of 1992 vintage. While CP continues to use 'ancient' in comparison flats of 1970 BLT, I believe I've also seen a couple '68's in the mix. Note that they're all wearing safety...
  4. HEP power

    HEP power

    CP's AC4400CW fleet is not HEP equipped, thus this flat is used to provide power to the Holiday train. It has to be the best looking in the fleet - ironic since its one of the oldest, of '72 heritage. Lots of them still around in regular IMS service, probably the oldest IMS cars on any Class I...
  5. Down the Columbia Gorge

    Down the Columbia Gorge

    A long BNSF stack train heads down the Columbia River Gorge on the Washington side of the river. A UP stack train can be seen in front of the lead BNSF locomotive on the Oregon side.
  6. Cajon Pass

    Cajon Pass

    Westbound double stack led by BNSF and UP GEs descends Main 2.
  7. CN Stack Train at Night

    CN Stack Train at Night

    A CN Stack train gets under way at a grade crossing in Matsqui, BC. The Eastbound train had to wait for a CP Westbound to cross the Fraser River bridge to Mission before it could proceed. I was hoping that a stray meteor would grace my presence but no such luck. Taken on August 15, 2007.
  8. MRSR #91's Headlight..

    MRSR #91's Headlight..

    Here is the headlight and stack of MRSR #91 (the climax.) Enjoy!`

  13. Fast Stack at Sunrise

    Fast Stack at Sunrise

    Eastbound stack train at sunrise on UP's ex-SP Sunset Route in Southern California (approaching Yuma, AZ)
  14. Spartain cabs!

    Spartain cabs!

    A refreshing break from all of the teardrop and widecab units, CN 5371 and CN 6014 head up a Westbound Q all on their own. A nice catch, if i do say so myself!
  15. Climbing Napavine Hill

    Climbing Napavine Hill

    BNSF7796 leads a stack train up Napavine Hill. This is a very long stretch of track that is 2.2% between Chehalis Jct,WA and Evaline,WA.
  16. CP 454

    CP 454

    CP 454 (E/B manifest+IMS, Sutherland-Winnipeg) is by far my favorite train on the CP PNL. Why? It fits my objective criterea: 1. Good timing, daily and always around noon 2. Good consist, lots of cars, a real good junk train - hoppers, gondolas, cente-beams, tankers, boxcars, platforms...
  17. CN 2522

    CN 2522

    Heading up a Westbound stack train. Dash-9s are by far the most common power out here...
  18. GEVO's at Stevenson

    GEVO's at Stevenson

    Two BNSF ES44DC's lead an eastbound stack train through Stevenson, Washington in the Columbia River Gorge.
  19. Another day with the stack manifest

    Another day with the stack manifest

    CN C44-9W 2642, SD60F 5550, SD75i 5726, and SD70M-2 8023 speed the stack manifest eastbound. The trains are moving much faster without the bridge crews around.
  20. An interesting meet

    An interesting meet

    As the stack manifest clears the main, a short grain and potash train aproaches on the siding. The second train caught me by surprise.
