My post from Sunday motivated me to hunt through my catalog for more photos of cars. From the looks of it you’ll get to enjoy some mid-train moments for the next few posts.
A Side of Canpotex is one I photographed right next to the best theme park in the Northwest near the end of July 2005. I was on my way to Montana for a visit to Mullan Pass so my stop here was brief but productive. I spent a lot of time on the funnel as a teen but since photography wasn’t of great importance at the time this is actually one of the very few photos I have of the area. Funny how that works.

The first part of July has be quite busy for me and my family. Thanks to a vacation out at the coast, a picnic, and other miscellaneous activities I’ve been tied up with non-railfan activities which has limited my available time to write up blog posts. The good news is I’ll have a few more railfan activities though August and September so my posts should be more regular.
In the mean time here’s a couple of photos of an empty grain train from Rivergate crossing the Columbia Draw.

On Sunday morning traffic was quite heavy despite the fact it was Independence day. Hopefully that meant crews were getting to work home for holiday celebrations. After consulting ATCS I headed out to Columbia Springs park to watch the Fourth of July parade of (3 westbounds and 1 eastbound) including the 4669 on the westbound Z-CHCPTL. Like normal when Amtrak is late the morning Z is out front. On Sunday Amtrak was around and hour down so not only was the Z train in front but so was a westbound V-HYDPTL.
