BNSF Seattle Sub
Author: WPDRGW

BNSF at Vader on the Seattle Sub. (for those that have not been there - its the north-south line between Seattle and Portland). BNSF owns the tracks and UP has trackage rights.
1. BNSF northbound grain train
2. BNSF freight headed to Portland
3. BNSF oil train routed down the Columbia River to Vancouver then north through Vader. Headed to export in Vancouver.

Neat places on the busy Joint Line.  I videotaped at both Winlock and Vader back in May including spending the night at Vader.  The program covering this line will be released in about a week.

The oil trains are probably going to either Cherry Point, Anacortes or Tacoma.
