Nostalgia & History > BNSF Galer St Seattle 2001 including LRCX C30-7

The Galer Street grade crossing was north of the downtown Seattle tunnel and just south of Balmer yard.  It was a good place to find BNSF action.  These shots from 2001 show a northbound train past Galer Street and entering the yard.  The second unit was an LRCX leaser.  The train had a five-pack of double stacks followed by mixed freight.

The bridge is the Magnolia viaduct.  A roadway bridge was later constructed over the tracks at Galer Street but it wasn't a true grade separation as the grade crossing remained underneath the new bridge, I think for truck access to the port/industrial area.  The grade crossing has since been removed.
