BNSF 8450
Title:  BNSF 8450
Description:  BNSF 8450 trailing unit on a pair of lone wolves coming out of the service area into the ladder entrance as a bunch of UP action takes place behind them - my fingers are crossed they wont slip into a view block position before the northbound entering the station area to the left area and the southbound coming below the signal tree right now to the right.

Description:  BNSF 9070 - BNSF 4491 middle pair of four on northbound mixed freight duty, vaguely showing off the stages of progress with 9070 sporting the BNSF-Slash nose art and 4491 the BN-ATSF transition shield nose-job... yup, its raining rather steadily messing up the picture, sorry. Feel free to mail your complaints to mothernature@weathergods.org - dont expect a reply... I havent got one yet (although I swear I occasionally hear a smirk from on-high when Im far from cover and the clouds open up and theres a train coming in the distance... I know I hear it).

I mean, turn pool-table... I mean... turn-table... through drizzly skies (if youve never been to the Pacific Northwest, it does take a little to get used to the fact sun or even blue skies (if and when they occur) can still be accompanied by rain - like in this shot where it looks like a sunset glare, but its really refracted light through the rain).

Title:  UP 5562 and BNSF 8974
Description:  UP 5562 and BNSF 8974 in the turn and shoot immediately after snapping the double-UP passing shot on the other side of the bridge - still balanced atop the guardrail (I was extremely thankful for whomever pounded the nail in the block of wood between the post and rail that keeps it from acting like a balance beam - if it was RP afraid theyd have to file a report after witnessing a fat, old guy getting dropped on his noggin after the teeter-totter effect that was originally on all these guardrail posts... I owe you an apology for all the RP jokes I post. Honest, yall are good people.)

BNSF 7364
Title:  BNSF 7364
Description:  BNSF 7364 at the back of southbound (soon to be eastbound) auto-rack closing out the morning (and afternoon) of a busy set of tracks here at the north end of Vancouver. (30 busy minutes this afternoon after the 15 minutes earlier in the day/morning previously posted in this & the Vancouver service area folders... so over forty sort-of-usable images in less than 45 total minutes of time by the tracks... not a bad way to wile-away part of the day between duties and destinations).

UP 5688
Title:  UP 5688
Description:  UP 5688 pushing from the rear on the *south*bound UP double-stack on the BNSF North-South Mains... and just because I found it funny as I kept waiting for a singlet before she moved past... and because I wasnt using the hold the trigger down theory, but was intentionally timing these (and several others) hoping just one would turn out... and magically have the upper container become invisible... before moving out of visual range as she shoots south behind the north moving foreground.
