Well I was not expecting to see any trains today, which was stupid of me beacuae I went 4 wheelin, and to get to the place I have to go up US 2 which paralles the BNSF main, I never see any more then one or two train's on Stevens Pass if I see any at all but today I saw 4!
The first one was clear across the Snohomish valley but I could tell it had a warbonnet and two Heritage units on it, it was headed twoards Seattle. The second one was headed East bound and had a HII C44-9W, BN GP50, and a SF C44-9W. The third train was headed Westbound and had a HII dash-9, HI SD40-2, BN SD40-2, and SF SD40-2. The last train was a work train headed I asume to drop off a bunch of cars loaded with Concret ties to join the the cars full of welded rail sitting in the siding at Gold bar, it had a BN SD40-2 and a BN GP 40 or 38, all in all I had a great day and got my truck muddy. Now where was the camera when I needed it?

I only saw 3 locomotives today... http://www.trainboard.com/biggrin.gif

1 H2 SD70MAC #89xx in DPU mode pushing tail first... I just barely caught the end of that train even though i was gunning for the crossing to get a glimpse!

Later an Amtrak train with 2 P40/2s(?) It actually made me want to throw together an Amtrak train...
