Welcome to

On my way home from work on a cloudy Tuesday afternoon 3-9-10 I spotted a southbound UP U-SEGL pulling out of Argo.  I continued on to South Seattle where I saw the sun was dipping below the clouds brightening things up.  I parked and noticed two sets of headlights coming my way.  Overtaking the UP garbage train was a Sounder headed for Tacoma.

Leading the 7 car Sounder train was SDRX F59PHI 901.

Less than a minute later at 4:28 PM the U-SEGL approached with units 8607/4714/7824 (SD70ACe/SD70M/ES44AC)

As the train passes we get a view of some of the BNSF power at South Seattle including BNSF 742 with a freshly painted plow and FXE ES44AC 4670.

The power with the FXE leading has moved away leaving BNSF SD70MAC 9660 on another consist out in the open.  This is the former BN 9660.

I like the Grinstein paint but the lack of a BN or even BNSF herald on the front just does not look right.  Better than H2 I suppose.  Moments later the sun was back behind the clouds and I continued for home.
