The blue flags are up in Seattle as train 11, the Coast Starlight to Los Angeles, is prepared for departure a week ago Sunday.

Somebody go to Pep Boys and get them a rattle can of gloss black for the "mask!"

Wow, you need step boxes to get on the locomotives? That high up for the first stirrup?

Last year while parked in the yard with the Pacific Sands and Silver Splendor we counted at least 100 step boxes scattered around the place.  Those were just the ones we could see from where we were parked, so I'm sure there were more.  They are used by cleaners and maintenance people to get in and out of the superliners and Sounder cars between runs.
