The line along the shores of Puget Sound at Edmonds had its moments. Like many it seemed to be quiet for lengthy periods and then a series of freights would pass within no time at all. This loaded coal train surprised me whilst we were waiting in the car to board the ferry to Kingston. I had been ready for some potential bird photography so I had to make do with using my long lens. That being said this train was over two miles away when I took this photo.
The view looks north and sees BNSF unit 5302 at the rear of the consist. A mile and a half further up the coast three other locomotives propel the freight towards Canada with this export.
