Remarks: This view is a record for me I think - with 20 or 21 locos in action in one shot, not to mention a steam crane or two and all at the end of 2008! My thanks to Chris Kilroy for excellent photoshop help.
Remarks: It's beginning to look like autumn in the Wasatch! A Utah Railway IPP coal empty charges east through Castilla amid a nice smattering of brilliant red oak brush in Spanish Fork Canyon.
Remarks: The passenger's aboard Cascades 509 have just emerged from about a minute of darkness, to be treated to a great view of the Tacoma Narrows on the Puget Sound. But they can't see what we can... Mt. Rainier, with a fresh coat of snow from a recent weather system. Click Here for another view from across the Sound. . Taken from across the Narrows in Gig Harbor.
Remarks: On a windy but beautiful morning at this scenic coastal spot, a train horn unexpectedly breaks the rhythm of the waves. Freight on the coast line!
