My WA photos

[coopers]

Some pictures up at English in north Marysville.

Some more...of my favorite engines...

A warbonnet leading two UP engines...my least favorite engines. Then an ACe leading another empty coal out of English through north Marysville.

Some engines at Delta Yard. Think there were two BN SD 60M's on the other side.

 

[coopers]

Some geeps at Bay Side and a RC geep at Delta. What's the advantage of an RC unit? Does it allow one guy to move things...versus tying up two people?

Saw this at Bay Side.

Nice series of shots.

Exactly. One person can control the engine from the ground while he is working the couplers.

Signal related question. Some signal masts have the standard three light head signal and then there's a two signal light head (green and red only) below it. What does this light refer to? Why does it not have yellow?

Some photos from today. Some images of an E/B coal going through MP 28. Empty coal waiting for new crew at Lowell.

Another look at Lowell train. NS second in consist leaving Delta Yard going to PA Junction. Caboose on Everett water front attached to some MoW cars.

Delta Yard engines. Two SD60M triclopses with GP60B. Not my favorite look for the 60M's but gotta take pics of any BN green in the area.

Got my CREX/CITIRAIL fix for the day. Really like the looks of these engines. This was a S/B consist through Logan and stopping at Amtrak station in south Stanwood for a N/B Amtrak with high greens through Marysville. Image of signals is looking north at Logan Sub with approach indication (did I get that right?) for the Amtrak that would be rolling through 45 mins after that pic.

Had a break in my day to snag a few photos of trains at English. Of course when I'm ready to take photos the traffic slows down and pretty much ceases to exist. Got a few trains.

Last few. I enjoyed seeing my beloved BN Exec engine on the oil train but I was bored with the other stuff (minus the BN Geeps). I really hate the H2 paint and I get bummed out when I see it mixed in with other nice paint schemes. Can't wait until there is more uniformity in the BNSF color wheel (I know, this would eventually mean my BN Exec colors would be extinct).

Nice shots.

Did you see Saturday's coal train? It had two of your favorite units up front. My photos are in the Mile Post 17 thread.

No I didn't.

Was out prowling around and got some photos taken. Unfortunately I had been messing with the settings on the camera I was borrowing and some over exposure occurred turning our nice blue sky with white clouds to just a hazy white. Dang! Oh well, got it dialed in now.

Here's a small power move to Delta Yard from Bayside. Love the new gevo! Got my CITIRAIL fix again too.
