Northbound Mixed Freight, Southbound Sounder
I took this video Friday morning 20240517. I was on my way out of the Richmond Beach gully, turned around and saw the train heading my way. I sped over to where I took this video (North of Richmond Beach, south of Kayu Kayu Ac). One thing that stood out, aside form two trains passing one another, was one of the centerbeam cars had the Great Northern road names on it. (GNRR) Look for the sky blue centerbeam car at 4:10

Northbound Intermodal Train
I was at Richmond Beach (again) 5/11/2024, and saw this train from the top of the gully heading north. I sped down to the bridge, and was able to get the camera set up and filming. From personal experience, usually when the train comes to a stop like that, its waiting for another train to pass. Enjoy.
On an unrelated note, does anyone think Amazon is getting a bit too big for it's britches? For some reason I find it slightly unnerving the large number of containers with the amazon prime logo on the side.

Southbound Boeing Train
I was out one evening recently at Richmond Beach in Shoreline WA, and this train sped past, presumably en route to the Boeing factory in Renton. Fair disclosure, I did not have a chance to set up a tripod, so the video may be a bit shaky. Enjoy

Northbound Mixed Freight
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.

Northbound Grain Train
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.

Eastbound intermodal train passing through Index, WA
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.

Southbound Amtrak after dark
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.

Southbound Mixed Freight
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.

Northbound Tank Train Passing Through Edmonds WA
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.

Northbound Mixed Freight passing through Shoreline WA
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.

BNSF Boeing Train
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.

Southbound BNSF Intermodal Train
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.

Northbound Freight Train
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.)
