Railfanning at Auburn Sounder Commuter Train Station 11/27/2013

On the day before Thanksgiving Day, I decided to hit trackside at the Auburn Sounder Commuter Train Station to catch some trains from a different pace that I was used to back in the Edmonds area. The weather was a bit chilly, but nice and dry. It was a really long time that I haven't railfanned in the Auburn area; probably for the last 2 years.

Train #1: Amtrak Cascades Train #509 blasted Southbound through the station about 79 MPH. AMTK 117 was leading the train with NPCU 90340 trailing.

Train #2: Amtrak Cascades Train #516 wasted no time heading North as it went through the station track speed. AMTK NPCU 90278 was leading with 150 trailing.

Train #3: A Northbound Unit Crude Oil Train thundered northbound through the station and was making some good speed through the Station. Probably close to 50 MPH. BNSF 1038 was leading with 2 DPUs in the back. Total of 338 axles on this freight.

Train #4: Southbound Sounder Commuter Train #1519 making a station stop at the station with the engineer waving a flashlight at me to say hi to me. SDRX 904 was leading with cabcar 103 trailing.

Enjoy the video.
