I took this video Friday 5/3/24, at Richmond Beach Saltwater Park. Not much to mention here, except the red and silver warbonnet near the front of the train. Hope you enjoy the video.

Took this video at Haines Wharf Park in northern Edmonds WA. For some reason, I don't see many grain trains pass through Edmonds. Might be bad timing on my end. Worth noting is one of those graffiti artists went and spray painted Snoopy lying on top of the BNSF logo on one of the grain hoppers. Not pleased with tag artists in general, but I find Snoopy less of an eyesore than most graffiti.

I took this video during a road trip along Highway 2 in Washington State. Specifically, this video was shot in Index, WA in the summer of 2020. Enjoy.

This is a video I took Saturday night, November 11 from Richmond Beach Park in Shoreline WA. (for reasons I do not know, the gate is left open after dusk despite the sign that says otherwise, but I digress.) Estimated time of night was between 9:30 pm and 10pm. I've been trying to get a night shot of a passing Amtrak for a few weeks, and finally got one. Of note, was the fact that there was a minus tide at the time, which was the first time I've been to one after dark. With regards to the location, I was at the north end of the beach, next to the signal light. You might be able to see the light in the video. My video camera, I've concluded, is not the greatest when it comes to after-dark videos. Anyway. Enjoy the video. P.S. I think the train in question was either the Cascadian, or the Empire Builder. Update: Looks like the park staff is closing the gates again.

I taped this train on the morning of 20231005 at Kayu Kayu AC Park in Shoreline WA. Worth noting is the second locomotive from the front, the old green and white BNSF. Two other details, although I was too far away for the camera to get any detail, was the fact that one of the centerbeam cars on the front half of the train had an old sky blue GNRR (Great Northern Railroad) livery. Finally, on one of the white hopper cars, some vandal tagged F*** Biden on the side. Not what I usually expect from those kind of people. Thankfully, neither words appeared to be visible when I replayed the video. Anyway, enjoy.

I took this video early 2022 on Admiral Way in Edmonds WA. What caught my interest with this video was the tank cars were clean enough that I could see the crossing gate lights reflecting off the tank cars. I apologize for the camera shake; I don't think I had a tripod with me at the time.

This video was taken just south of Kayu Kayu Ac park (Shoreline WA) sometime during the first three months of 2023. Not much to say with this one, except some loser went and tagged the lead locomotive.

There is a spur line running from the BNSF main line in Mukilteo to the Boeing Plant in the Mukilteo/Everett area. I was lucky enough to get video one day of a train full of airplane parts (presumably) heading up said spur line. Of note is the caboose in front, with a spotter watching the line.

This is a video I took of an intermodal train the evening of 20230520 in the Mukilteo Beach area. One thing of note would be the TWO warbonnets (the red and silver ones) behind the lead locomotive. One warbonnet is uncommon in this area (so far as I know) Two is even more so. Constructive criticism would be welcome, I'm a bit of an amateur in terms of taking pictures/videos.

I caught footage of a northbound mixed freight between Richmond Beach WA and Kayu Kayu Ac park in Shoreline. Check out the paint damage on the second locomotive, and you vary rarely see the road name of the third locomotive in Washington State (at least when I've train watched.)
