Title:  UP 5699
Description:  UP 5699 (both port and starboard side views) - the second trophy sick unit left on our most visible siding of the Vancouver area - right in front of the station platform, elevated as seen from the west - in tribute to visiting power that gives up the ghost at the wrong time (just a mile or two from home trackage - but at least not while ON the bridge between the two sides).

Title:  BCOL 4626
Description:  BCOL 4626 about in third position on a mixed freight angling through the why from northbound to eastbound in a arrived too late to the party shot for us at the Vancouver Amtrak Station (funny - for once the parking lot was nearly full, had to putter around trying to find a spot... finally found it, heard one going through the wye, and only had enough time to shoot through the BNSF tower lot for rotten shots and this single crossing the gate image - so the puddle in the picture isnt there on purpose trying for a reflection!).

Description:  BNSF 1599 - BNSF 1746... hold on a minute... I waited nearly 45 minutes, staring into what should be the bridge depths are those headlights? across the Columbia River bridge, in 37°F nearly freezing fog in moderately high, but oh-so-snappy cold winds... for a pair of yard engines to return home?! Not to complain, but, dang... just a touch of a let-down after that build-up! (sorry guys - Im sure it wasnt very thrilling on your end, either, waiting that long sitting out on Jantzen Beach waiting for a green). Mixed freight, northbound across a densely foggy Columbia River bridge.
