I finally got done editing my photos from last weekend, and came up with a few decent ones from some sun breaks on Sunday. What’s this? A day of railfanning around the Seattle Sub and I’m not showing any BNSF pictures? Well yeah… these are better.
Last year Steve and I stayed at the King Oscar motel in Centralia and found it, well, a little below our standards. Imagine the chuckle I got when the UP crew got off their power at Blakeslee Junction and up pulled… you guessed it… the King Oscar motel van:
That UP power was delivering a grain train to the Puget Sound & Pacific, so we chased it west and got a few shot… here’s one as the lead locomotive passes Briarwood, between Rochester and Grand Mound:
And here they are at Gate:
The last photo for now is the southbound Coast Starlight coming around the curve into “downtown” Winlock, with a bit of fall colors showing:
