Vehicle train on Seattle waterfront, 7-13-2015
Today I'm hanging out on the Seattle waterfront. It's a hot day and I'm loving the cool breeze coming off Puget Sound.
Listening to the scanner, I hear a train leaving Balmer Yard headed my way.
The train turns out to be a vehicle train led by BNSF 7250 (ES44DC). She would have just come in from Chicago loaded with autos from plants in the Midwest. The autos will be unloaded at yards south of here, then loaded with autos from Asia to take back to the Midwest.
I tried a variety of shooting locations, moving down the sidewalk to get different views. As she passes me, she takes a little S-curve before entering the old GN tunnel under downtown Seattle just out of sight.
7250 / 4369
ES44DC / C44-9W

After railroading for 30 yrs I still like to watch train videos
Great video! Love the closeups of the train as it "snakes" it's way through the scene. Thanks. . .
did they get rid of that street car or trolley that ran I heard they did

David Schieler Yeah, it looks it's not coming back. Just two streets north of my location, they just re-did the road crossing at Clay St. The old trolley tracks at the crossing were taken out at that time.
Have you ever walked through the tunnel, toward the Amtrak station? Great video by the way.

Dejoh Denny Heavens no! First, a good railfan doesn't trespass on railroad property or break other laws. Second, if two trains were in the tunnel, there's no place to go - you'd get squished.
