Remarks & Notes 
Shortly after meeting an eastbound freight around the corner at Merritt, Amtrak's westbound Empire Builder crosses Nason Creek and enters the narrow confines of the Slot on the 2.2% climb to Cascade Tunnel. Although their train was running nearly two hours late this day, passengers on No. 7 benefited by experiencing a daylight ride through the spectacular snow-covered scenery of Stevens Pass. Visible in the windshield is the engineer's hand as he waves a greeting to the photographer.
