A Southern Pacific coal load climbs the steep Tennessee Pass Subdivision a mile or two below the summit on a sunny March 29, 1997 afternoon. The 100 car train had three AC4400CWs on the point, four cut in as manned helpers and two more on the rear. Gotta love mountain railroading above 10,000 feet!

A pack of GP-38's throttle up for the fight to Hampton Junction with 80 loads of Carter Roag coal bound for the Ukraine via Baltimore. The ex-B&O leader is right at home on this former Baltimore & Ohio line, known as the "End of the World" by the railroaders who worked it.

After an overnight snow fall, most of the snow at Edmonds has melted with some of the snow still hanging on from a distance in Mukilteo. The wind really started to pick up with winds sustained up to 50 MPH, which was good enough to imposed a speed restriction of 10 MPH from Everett to Seattle as the waves crashed alongside the sea wall and the Cascades trains got some good spraying from the Puget Sound.
