I’ve heard from a reliable source that the remaining Pullman passenger cars at the former Crossing Restaurant in Vancouver (adjacent to 8th Street on the BNSF Fallbridge Sub) will be removed for scrap on Monday. I may try to sneak down there around lunchtime and see what’s going on.

So… today I figured I’d get a few shots after work. The Vancouver Terminal dispatcher sent two eastbounds to Wintler and Eavan, telling them to wait for one west.
I didn’t realize that I’d set up for my shot and have to wait 90 minutes… what is this, Stampede?
Anyway, here’s the shot, at milepost 17.3 on the Fallbridge Sub. This was a new angle for me.

It’s the longest day of the year… the summer solstice. Unless you’re Kit Courter, who probably favors the winter solstice, there’s no excuse for not getting out and snapping at least one picture of a train in daylight today. I’ll be out for a bit after work.
The best way to improve your photography is to take more photos and study them. Go take more photos!

I spent a couple hours down at the depot last night, not too much was going on but I got this shot of the light power off the 664 as it came off the bridge and around towards the center. It wasn’t until I was looking at the photo at home that I noticed the nose of the 3017 has a nice rusted shot-up look.
