    BNSF SD70MACs at Progress Rail

    I have been noticing BNSF SD70MACs at Progress Rail in Tacoma, WA beginning in September of 2015. There must be about six Big Macs there. Does anyone know what work is being done to those locomotives? :confused: Dan Simmering

    BNSF/GN Switch Engines Get My Goat

    On 29 Jan 2015 I was photographing trains at TR Junction in Tacoma, WA. A south bound merchandise train roared passed me and through the Reservation interlocking. In the power was a switch engine labeled for the Great Northern Railroad. At the time, BNSF was in need of a block of locomotive...

    US Navy Donates Turntable to the Chehalis-Centralia Railroad & Museum

    Yes, the Puget Sound & Pacific Railroad serves the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. The US Government still owns the track from Shelton to Bremerton. I believe that our federal government still maintains and upgrades the right-of-way through sub-contractors. There is not a lot of traffic on the...

  16. A Tacoma Starship

    A Tacoma Starship

    This color photo was modified using Photoshop. First I used the poster edge filter to distort the basic photo. Then I selected the photo minus the sky and placed it as a foreground on a NASA photo of a star cluster. The original photograph showed the GNP Reading 2100 doing trial runs up the...
  17. East Mars Freight Railroad

    East Mars Freight Railroad

    On a recent NatGeo program "Milky Way", they used some stunning video manipuations. I thought I would give their technique a try on a train photo. First, I shot Eastside Freight Railroad SW1200 #109 on 7 Oct 2010 at Maltby, WA. I took two NASA photographs and combined them into one...
