Passenger Trains > A Cascade with a F59PHI for Power

Yesterday Cascades 501 and 516 had F59PHI 466 for power. Here's pictures of 501 with the Mount Baker train set at Vancouver, Washington. In the first photo BNSF GP39-2R #2752 is in a pocket at the south end of the freight yard. The bridge in the last two photos of the departing train is BNSF's over the Columbia River. The fog over the River obscures the opposite shore.


Enjoy,
Marty Bernard

uh...closer to 20 minutes (don't remember exactly but 1.08* (Seattle-Portland running time+dwell)).

You're right Tom. I was looking at the Starlight's padding. Fixed it.

That's the first picture of the Cascades I've seen here for awhile where the locomotive and the Cabbage are both painted in the Cascades paint scheme.

Yes, sure looks nice when everything matches.

Yes, it sure does. That 90253 flank shot looks nice.
