BNSF 7272 |
| Description: |
BNSF 7272 is four-of-nine (from the north) continuing her semi-concealed track record on sensor (three pictures, one sneaking out of the power corral through brush and another two out in the north yard and this is the best view... would seem shes a little bashful). |

BNSF 7950 |
| Description: |
BNSF 7950 is, uh, seven... SEVEN of NINE (oh! Wait! Doesnt that make it some sort of SciFi sex symbol? Just coincidence, or deeper meaning... the first two digits on the number board! 7 and 9! Ha! It was planned... it means, uh, it means - er, "It means monkey brains can find patterns in anything they look at." (Thanks - count on the spouse to always help out when the old brain doesnt want to complete a perfectly good sentence that WAS going to say something like, "You know, I really feel like going out for, uh, you know..." "Corn? Fresh fruit? How about bananas?" "Dang - stupid brain. Too slow to come up with ice cream." Another trip to support Buffett shot down (Next shed say its just coincidence Warren Buffett and group own both BNSF & DQ (Dairy Queen for the uninitiated). Darn, now I feel like ice cream. Stupid brain.) |

I believe that blue warning sign may have something to do with No Diving and the red No Lifeguard On Duty - but its just a guess (trying to see any detail in this rain and crud we call weather is somewhat challenging, so I might be mistaken). |

BNSF 7692 |
| Description: |
BNSF 7692 second from the north end of a double stack... and it looks like were losing our light faster than were gaining... and I swear thats a few wet drops appearing... would hate for us to have our webs dry out with a full six hours without rain. |

CEFX 1007 at third position of three at the front of a paused northbound oil can (safety spacer-hopper at her nose) in Vancouver. Were getting lots of rain, but it doesnt seem to be helping remove any of the dirt and road grime. |

Vancouver Center Yard & New By-Pass Lane |
| Description: |
New By-Pass lane on the left of the frame on those fancy concrete ties shows the southern end of the cursed yard-and-main by-pass in Vancouver. Just beyond the road bridge in the distance (Mill Plain) is Vancouver Center proper (BNSF) and the wye with the station (the peak of the Columbia Train Bridge barely visible between the concrete silo in the center distant frame and the large sprawling United Grain terminal on the right of the frame (More details? Its immediately "up" from the paired Procor tankers in the little four-car sort within the ladder)) showing the old small hump yard, sort ladder, and original Vancouver yards of SP&S (now BNSFs)... but its that lane on the left thatll cause me consternation from here to Kingdom Come - because it truly is being used - frequently - for freights to keep off the main north-south lanes (hidden far to the right of the frame) and recently elongated passing lane. It permits westbound-to-northbound freight transitions through the wye to scoot along this two-plus mile section... Im waiting on the updated satellite imagery to fully appreciate all the whoop-dee-doos and squiggles that appear when looking at it on the ground. I have to look forward to something, because its providing a great view-block to my discovered sitting duck arcade for power units back in the power corral waiting area. |

UP 5539 |
| Description: |
UP 5539 at the front of a riot of colors at the hauling end of a northbound string of oil tankers from Bakken... pretty amazing considering were looking at $1.72 a gallon for gas (two years ago, $4.20/gal). |
