A Fleeting View

by Steve Eshom on May 18, 2010

When I moved to Vancouver in 1993 I didn’t know where everything was railfan wise.  It took a bit of map reading and driving around to find all the interesting spots to see trains around town.  On one trip to Tacoma on Amtrak’s Mt. Rainier (predecessor to today’s Cascades) I noted in a small grade crossing north of Vancouver which looked like something to investigate.   Of course since the train was going 70+ mph the crossing was mostly a blur but that fleeting view was enough to get me over to Felida Rd. (NW 122 St.) for some railfanning.

    Great movement shot. I like the green of the trees constrasting with the colours of the train.
