Viewing Album:  Vancouver, WA. Trips Four and Five.
 
By:Tristan G
Dates:11/8/2012 - 12/13/2012
Album Info:Trip number 4 via Amtrak Cascades to see my brother in his new hometown and my railfanning heaven, Vancouver Washington. I'm from Springfield Oregon and thats the state where ive spent very close to 100% of all my railfanning time. "The Depot Inside the Wye" has been a very big change for me as a railfan, and im loving every second of it.... no more hours of waiting just to end up with one train (definitely taught me patience though), all sorts of colorful locomotives old and new, on or off their home rails, coal, lumber, tankers, grainers, intermodal, passenger and more trains with double tracked legs of each wye being the junction between BNSF's Seattle and Fallbridge Subdivisions with a modest and friendly Amtrak depot in between all the action. Thank you to rrpicturearchives for allowing me to share something i love doing very much and to all of the viewers, I hope you enjoy.

Title:  Southbound Cascades Pulls in Between the Downpour
Description:  The 11th was definitely the wettest day of the four we spent trackside, but as being a railfan and from Oregon, it was about as useful as stopping a freight train with a BB gun.

Title:  And It's About Time
Description:  We hadn't seen a coal train in quite some time, and for me, it hadn't been since early September, but when BNSF 6409 peaked her headlights around the curve that changed and both my brother and I were very pleased railfans.

Green, Brown and White All the Way
Title:  Green, Brown and White All the Way
Description:  At this time, most of the Cascades trainsets were operating with either Phase 5 Genesis units or NPCU or with the King Tut painted unit. I believe this was the only one we caught (including the two i rode on this trip) to be wearing the complete scheme.
