| Description: |
I was 17 in 1971 and bought my first 35mm camera...a Zenit-E russian made camera from Ritz Camera. It was what I could afford and I shot a lot of train pictures with it. This shot is probly from the first few rolls of film I took. I got to the MILW roundhouse via my bicycle all of 1971. |

MILW 8003-8000 approaching the BN/MILW crossover at Pine Street |
| Description: |
Pine Street Bellingham had 2 BN/MILW crossover diamonds within a 100 yards over each other. The most used one was the BN/MILW diamond at AMFAB as this was the southward exit of MILW trains to enter BN tracks to Everett. The other BN/MILW crossover at Pine Street went to the defunct MILW Ferry Dock. |
