Great photos indeed. I may have some ready tonight or tomorrow. Can't believe a guy with film, beat us all to the post.
Just a run in with the Wenatchee Special agent. Apparently, he had reports all weekend of the "activities" on the hill. Of course, instead of going to check them out, he chose to go after some motorcyclists around Trinidad. He did mention that I was supposed to discourage railfans whenever possible.

Anyway, here are a few that I shot on Sunday.

1. This was the first of two empty coal trains that ran on Sunday morning. The train is heading out of the Bonneville cut.

2. The second is an empty Roberts Bank to Spring Creek mine train that had a KCS Memphis Belle second out. It was nice to see some sunshine.

3. Again, crossing the Wenatchee river at Dryden.

4. Last, pulling out of the Columbia river valley at Trinidad.
