After a long chilling wait standing in the frozen snow Amtrak's Empire Builder emerges from the trees onto the iconic Sunset Falls Bridge crossing over the mighty Skykomish River. Amtrak P42DC #203 leads the Builder in its "See Tracks, Think Train" Yellow and Black scheme which was a nice surprise!
From a hint of "Bee" (NKP 765), colorful "Bees" (KCS), "Bees" w/ "attitude", to "Bees" that "sting" your eyes, in their own way they have "Bee" on display! Equipment that "Buzzes" with Yellow & Black colors! ("Bees" can still "Bee" entering this "hive"!)
With two sections of the Empire Builder, the Coast Starlight, Seattle, the Cascade Mountains, Columbia Valley and Puget Sound, Washington state offers rail buffs plenty of variety and beauty.
