You don't see this Everyday!
Author: funnelfan

Just after I got off my own train yesterday, I was given a heads up on the H-PASLAU with a eclectic mix of power. So I went home to grab the camera and give chase. Power was BNSF ES44AC 6031, BNSF SD70MAC 9475, CP AC4400 9574, NS C40-9W 9496, BNSF ES44AC 5911, CEFX ex-SOO SD60 6018, BNSF SD70MAC 8902. Larry in Ritzville also caught this train and others yesterday. Looks like there was quite a variety of power on the Lakeside yesterday. The train sat at Sunset for a long time due to the Hauser/Spokane becoming gridlocked. Eastbounds were backed up to Tokio and remains backed up as of this morning.

Over the past few day Hauser Spokane has turned into a big mess. Lots of dogccatch's and extra shuttle trains. Short on engineers and new guys on the furlough board.

Well, that would be one way to serve some time off the job.

I'm glad you were able to catch that colorful consist with such a variety of power. Wish I could have caught it at a better angle like you did. Nice shots!

Is this sort of a lag effect from the slide that happened on the Kootenai River sub a few days ago? I know it is cleaned up but maybe it has a ripple effect that takes a few days to clear up?

Caught that Soo unit a few days ago. So that's where it went.
