Western Railroad Discussion > Sea Level Snow on the Puget Sound

Tuesday (2/20/18) the Puget Sound area got a little bit of snow all the way down to the water. Today we got some more, could be nice tomorrow.

So, in the light snow I caught a couple of trains at Steilacoom

1) Southbound intermodal.

2) Featured an newly rebuilt SD60M-3 (#136) and a former SantaFe GP50 in it's mostly original paint.

3) Shortly thereafter a northbound grainer showed up.

4) A late 505 showed up just as the flakes were disappearing.

5) Later at the Tacoma yard a rebuilt GP30 - now a GP39-3 is working the yard. Sure look nice!

6) To wrap it up, I'll go back a few days during a sun break for Cascades 504 with the ever-looming Mt Rainier.

Great images Steve!! The last one absolutely takes the cake!!!

Those area ll excellent pictures, especially the last one, with Mount Rainier and its lenticular clouds, the the lacy-looking wispy branches of the tree on the left. Your first image has a lot of nice things in it, and is very interesting, and the photo of the Talgo train along the Sound is lovely shades of gray,

You are a superb photographer, and I enjoy all of your photo essays, like this one. Thanks so much for sharing your work here.

Great photos. I especially like #6.

The cab on that 39-3 takes away from the overall look. Should have left the cab alone, but it does look good.

Great pictures as usual.

That's the shortest SD50 I've ever seen, was it a victim of a telescoping frame?
