Western Railroad Discussion > Auburn WA Trackwork

BNSF is really making progress on a third main track on the Seattle Sub, at least thru Auburn, WA.  These photos taken from the Main Street crossing, the first two looking north.  This project seems to be mainly between Kent and South Auburn, I'm not sure about progress along the rest of the Sub.

Yay! Finally!

The third track extends only between Thomas and Ellingson (another one that has taken over 15 years turn from drawings to steel).

Starting to look like the BNSF East End ("Racetrack") in Chicago!
