In a surprising development, a number of BNSF Geeps are in local service on CN, apparently repaying horsepower hours. Here BNSF 2302 leads CN 596 as it crosses over from the Freight Track to the North Track at Turcot Ouest with traffic for Taschereau Yard.
Exporail's Christmas Train has just left Hays Station with CP 1608 leading generator car AMT 603 and ex-CP cars AMT 827 & AMT 900. The latter is a Vickers gallery cab car that was donated to Exporail earlier this year. Originally GP9 AMT 1311 was going to lead, but its batteries are dead and it will not be running this year.

I've been going back through my photos taken February 14, 2019. It's cold and rainy so I am opting to re-edit or edit some that I had not done. The City of Frisco has this wonderful collection of American railroad classics, and who doesn't love railroad history and to be able to see it?
CSXT 838 & CSXT 7016 lead CN 327 around a curve as the train approaches Coteau, where the train will set off cars.

Clouds and rain were the norm on my trip to Washington but we did have a couple sunny days. On this day it rained all morning but the skies cleared in the afternoon to a beautiful blue. I was in Snoqualmie that afternoon and visited Main Street and the Depot.
“The Snoqualmie Depot was constructed by the Seattle, Lake Shore and Eastern Railway in 1890. Six years later, it was reorganized as the Seattle International Railway, and by 1901 the railway and the depot were absorbed into the Northern Pacific Railway. The Snoqualmie Depot remained in active service until the Burlington Northern Railroad absorbed the Northern Pacific in the 1970 merger with the Great Northern Railway, and in the mid-1970s began rerouting trains to Snoqualmie over the Milwaukee Road.”
“At the time of its building, the Depot was unusually elaborate when considering the modest population of Snoqualmie. Yet through its years of service and multiple ownership changes, the Depot underwent so many renovations that it was no longer recognizable as a train station. In 1975, the Burlington Northern officially abandoned the line, and donated the depot building and several miles of track to the Northwest Railway Museum.”
“In 1981, the Museum rehabilitated and restored the Snoqualmie Depot back to its 1890s appearance. Preservationists restored the distinctive turret above the ticket office and two curved "eyebrow dormer" windows that had been removed in 1948 because of their tendency to leak during heavy rains. . In 1996, the cedar shingle roof was replaced with a new version copied from period photographs. The restored Snoqualmie Depot is listed on the National Register of Historic Places” and is part of the Northwest Rairoad Museum in Snoqualmie.
