| Description: |
AMTK 93 "Sierra Hotel" observation-parlor car - unable to read the reporting mark (if there were any) as I was shooting from on top the bridge a significant distance away. Dang, what a time to give up on trains and wander off over the bridge to play with boats, instead! |

BNSF Interbay Car Shop |
| Description: |
BNSF Interbay Car Shop at the outskirts of the Balmer Yard in Seattle. Youd think they couldve ordered better weather for our trip... then again, guess it was only raining sporadically throughout the weekend... and it was above the 40° range (most of the time), so not sure why Im complaining (other than its the middle of June). Pretty sure with the two lanes of garbage scows on rail to the side of the building, though, theyre pretty happy with cooler weather. |

BNSF 2359 side view, stamped GP38-2 on her nose. Good thing they have that warning pylon... thats the walking path right next to the engine... you wouldnt want to be lost in your coffee, grooving to your ear-bud bleeds, typing on your smart phone and accidentally hit the thing, you know! (Sad, but Im sure its regulation due to too many injured pedestrians that "Didnt see it!" and ran into the thing. That or maybe BNSF got tired of sending these through the shower scrub to remove coffee stains.) |
