West Scenic on Stevens Pass, the bridge is US2. This is an empty oil train rolling into the 7.79 mile Cascade Tunnel which is just ahead.

 

Nice pics everyone!! Lot's of modern equipment!

 

Thanks!

 

Another fine collection this week, guys.

 

Here's a zoomed out shot at the crossing, you can see the west tunnel portal in the distance. US2 goes over the tracks, then up on the hill in the distance, before going over the top of the pass. It'll be about 45 minutes in the tunnel before popping out of the east portal, climbing about a 1% grade.
