Me, Pete (Railhead1956) and a couple other folks hanged out along Sunset Ave. Not only because it was Pete's first time being at Edmonds and getting to meet him in person, but there was something special that we were waiting for and then some.

Train #1: A NB BNSF Manifest M-PASVBT takes Main Track #2 to meet up with a southbound train.

Train #2: The southbound train that I was waiting for was something that I was anticipating for quite some time. Rocky Mountaineer made their first trip to Seattle from Jasper & Banff, Alberta, Canada and here it is, cruising along the Puget Sound waters as it blast through Edmonds for the final leg into Seattle. The train would turn around the same day and head back north to Vancouver BC for a overnight stay before heading back to Alberta. This was their first time ever going to Seattle and the Rocky Mountaineers are already planning to make future trips to Seattle for 2014.

Train #3: Another surprise that we saw was the SB Canadian Pacific Crude Oil Train U-SSKPTW through Edmonds.
