Three southbound trains in Kent, WA, 5-20-2014

Описание к видео Three southbound trains in Kent, WA, 5-20-2014

Today I'm trackside in Kent, WA near the Willis control point and we've got all sorts of action going on.

The southbound Main 1 signal changed from Stop to Approach to Clear so I know I've got a train coming.
In the distance you can see a local job just coming off the siding onto Main 2. They are waiting for the Main 2 signal to give them permission to pass the Willis control point.

The Main 1 train turns out to be BNSF 264 (SD75M) pulling a garbage train. This is likely the INBROO (Interbay to Roosevelt) taking trash from Seattle to the landfill.

As they passed the signal mast, the Main 2 signal was now showing Approach Medium for the local.

The engineer throttles up 1441 (SD60M) and gives me wave as he passes. Love these old Cascade Green ex-BN locos.
I think this may be either Crew 2 or Crew 9. They pickup cars from Stacy Yard and South Seattle Yard. Autoracks go to Glacier Park Yard to be unloaded at BNSF's Orillia Auto Facility. They service a couple of customers in Kent, which is why they were on the siding. They then transfer cars to either Auburn Yard or Tacoma Yard.

As they pass the Willis control point, I see that the Main 1 signal is showing Approach Medium again. Wonder what's coming?

It turns out to be a short stack train led by BNSF 6656 (ES44C4).

Garbage:
264 / 236
SD75M / SD75M

Local:
1441 / 2291
SD60M / Gp38-2

Stack:
6656 / 8063
ES44C4 / ES44C4
