UP 5696 |
| Description: |
UP 5696 rounding out the power-trio hauling north on a mixed freight under almost painfully blue skies (rather rare around here, even when its not raining and clear because to get blue, clear skies we have to avoid our infamous "temperature inversion" which holds all the smoke (from the wildfires and range fires to the east, southeast, and south) plus Portland smog next to the ground giving a more white appearance to our skies. |

UP 8473 middle of three on northbound mixed freight (and quite the mix at that - running the gambit from refers to likely MOW section tailed by autoracks - a hodge-podge of routing nightmare for the yardmaster of the evening and likely to elicit, "Come on, this would never happen in real life." |

| Description: |
AMTK 465 accelerating quickly into the exit straight-away out of the Vancouver Amtrak station and into what has to be a weird experience shooting down a channel of freight cars, followed a few moments later by the shock of shooting out from between them into open track. |

BNSF 5269 |
| Description: |
BNSF 5269 second from the north and proving challenging shooting into the sun thats chosen now to burn through the clouds since Im on the opposite side of the tracks from the earlier shots back in the service area (other folder) - combined with chain-link and other complaints from me, not only wasnt I able to get a shot down the line-up (not that they werent doing their best to hide behind the new enlarged signal tree upper north yard), but Im also managing to wade through various weeds and sticker bushes along the fence to keep photographers out (just kidding - I know the fence is there for a reason - but Im still having to get used to the difference between Southern and Northwestern approaches to protecting the tracks ("Hey, yall - you go on the tracks, yer gonna die. So keep off, cause we cant slow down or swerve - you hear?" vs "... so the jury would believe you only put up an eight foot fence with hurricane wire top and expect it would keep said injured or maimed individual off the track? Yet, did anyone actually consult personally with said, poor, injured and/or dead person after they climbed over that pitiful excuse of a fence that some big, bad, evil corporation felt was enough notice that large, heavy trains cannot stop on a dime to avoid people trespassing? Let the jury know, they now have whats called steerable trucks on trains - which can only mean, had the engineer been driving such a train, he couldve swerved to avoid the poor, sad, unwarned injured and/or dead person that chose to lay down upon the tracks after climbing said fence and avoiding rail police - yet, the evil corporation decided not to spend the extra money to provide that safety feature...") |

For those having not been first-person present, uh, dont splurge on the sound equipped tables, its a bit of a letdown. I wont spoil that entry just yet, but look for the details! Coming soon to a RRPA - place your pre-order...) |

UP 2599 |
| Description: |
UP 2599 at the front of a northbound double-header double-stack double-timing it north toward the port of Seattle-Tacoma and the bankruptcy blues that has become the aquatic shipping industry. Anyone know if one or three of the container industry group recently changed their livery? (Referring to Rock Islands classic "Bankruptcy Blue" color scheme - in case Im being a little too subtle... especially in reference to the UP in this image whose parent company holds the RI copyright, I believe.) |

| Description: |
BNSF 1075 - BNSF 8173 in push-me/pull-you long nose to the north for the current lead unit on mixed freight shuffling around in the northern ladder yard of Vancouver center... and the church bells are tolling while the rain keeps rolling - so Im not hanging around to find out what gives. |

BNSF 9252 |
| Description: |
BNSF 9252 three-of-three, and the only orange to be seen anywhere along the train, from nose coupler/hoses to EDOT/FRED (which is why I stretched the frame edit to include the shield on the first of the load... just for kicks). |

UP 8668 - UP 5670 - BNSF 9252 |
| Description: |
UP 8668 - UP 5670 - BNSF 9252 with southbound autorack paused in the passing lane in Vancouver... and after seeing BNSF rigs out in the desolate stretches of northeastern Oregon earlier in the day, something odd is going on. You have to look no further than the trees in the background - theres leaves on them... and theyre not green (sounds like a joke, but we *used* to go from trees with green leaves to trees stripped bare (high winds with coming of fall) or the early freeze that just kills things - green to dead & brown... THEN the wind stripped them off. "Beware the four horsemen..." hey, wait a second... there were four lone BNSF units out in UP territory... guess its a good thing were on our way to services. |
