This morning the light was pretty typical of January in the Northwest. The sun is still low and a high layer of clouds from an incoming storm were filtering it a bit. As I got on the road I heard the H-EVERBAR9 (the BAR-9) finishing up some work in Vancouver’s B yard so I thought it would make excellent fodder for the light.
I met up with the train west of Eavan and found out my friend Michael “Mad Dog” Sawyer was at the throttle. This gave me a bit more incentive to chase the train as I rarely get a chance to chase one of MD’s trains. I was a bit repulsed by the Washington Husky hat he was sporting but got over that quickly because the light was just too nice.
West of Eavan the BAR-9 passes the rear end of an Interbay grain train changing crews at Eighth St.
After meeting the BARVAW at west Washougal, the BAR-9 storms away from the meet.
