Everett is a town north of Seattle. When the rained stopped around sunset, I took a walk around it’s waterfront, and enjoyed the lovely scenery around the yacht club. The dense clouds in the sky, reflected onto the water channel, made it a memorable walk.

A single Everett GP16 runs through the fields of southern Blair County on their way to switch a customer in Claysburg. The Everett Railroad operates a cluster of ex-PRR branch lines radiating south out of Hollidaysburg.

The Everett Railroad of today, notable for steam excursions, has nothing in common with the original Everett Railroad, other than the name. Originally, the road operated a former Huntingdon& Broad Top line centered around Everett, Pennsylvania after the H&BT gave up the ghost in 1954. As a kid, I remember seeing the Everett’s GE 80-tonner along the Pennsylvania Turnpike as we passed by Everett on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The Everett operated the line until 1982, when Conrail abandoned its Mt. Dallas Secondary, which was the Everett’s connection to the outside world.
After lying dormant for two years, the Everett found a new home on the former Conrail Bedford Secondary between Brooks Mill and Sproul. Remaining rolling stock was trucked to the new line, including 80-tonner number 4, seen idling in the cold morning airin the right distance. Old Number 4 wasn’t enough to handle the new line’s traffic, so the Everett acquired two ex-Conrail SW9’s, painted in a scheme reminiscent of NJDOT’s original scheme. Here SW9 8933 stands at the road’s operational headquarters in Claysburg, Pennsylvania.
We got to listen to Taps from the Naval base next door while we watched the sunset over the marina. Such a beautiful moment!
On a sunny afternoon, a trio of Dash-9s lead a Vancouver, BC to Portland freight out of the tunnel under downtown Everett. Everett, WA, 7/12/2025
The west bound 'Empire Builder', train # 7, is almost on time as it departs Everett for the last few miles to Seattle.
Everett Railroad GE 80-tonner number 4, the only piece of equipment that survived the abandonment of the original Everett line, stands at the operational headquarters of the reborn Everett ay Claysburg, Pennsylvania. Soon after the 1984 rebirth, the GE was found to be to light for the new line, and two SW9’s were purchased. One of those EMD’s, number 8990, is seen just beyond number 4.

2 Oakway SD60's lead westbound BN train #111 through Howarth Park in Everett, WA on February 8, 1993. Snow-capped Mt Baker above the lead unit is nearly 60 miles away so this was a very clear winter day in the Northwest.
“Bassist Bill Everett” — Symphony Silicon Valley principal bassist William Everett
This photograph of principal double-bassist Bill Everett practicing backstage at a concert of the Symphony Silicon Valley is among my favorites so far from my three-year project photographing professional classical musicians. During this project I have extensive access to the performers and backstage areas, and I’m attending many rehearsals and concerts – so many and over such a long period that I am able to develop personal relationships with the musicians, find and use interesting little bits of stage lighting that others might miss, and learn to see and photograph elements of the musicians’ work that others might miss.
As I have worked the rehearsal and performance halls I have gradually learned a lot about subtle lighting opportunities in the backstage areas. I know keep an eye out for people who wander into this prime light spots, and when I see them there I quickly take advantage of the opportunity. Bill had, likely with no conscious thought, located himself directly between a backstage work light and essentially cast a vertical spotlight on him and his instrument. I stood nearby with a medium long lens and was able to make several photographs of him as he focused his attention on a bit of music from the performance.
