Five minutes with Amtrak 501 (3 of 4)
In May 2013, our son was going to play a baseball game at the Fort Vancouver Little League near downtown Vancouver, Washington. After we arrived for the pregame warmups, I realized Amtrak 501 was due over at the depot, so I took off with my camera.
Before the accident at DuPont in December 2017, Amtrak 501 was just the morning schedule from Seattle to Portland. I snapped a few images of the station stop, not appreciating that they would eventually be ETTS fodder.
Station work complete, the train departs for the end of the run at Portland. It is crossing the massive drawbridge over the Columbia River. Amtrak 90251 at the rear of the train is an F40 locomotive converted to a baggage/cab car.
