I was in search of a MRL F45 on the Seattle Sub that another foamer had given us the heads-up. Well, I did catch some other trains in the mean-time. Here is BNSF #7056 north with a general merchandise freight head possibly to Longview, Wash. or points north.

Putting the older powere ahead of the brand-new. 5630 smokes its way eastbound with ES44DC 2239 and SD40-2 5372. The train bescide it is an eastbound with 5541 and 2446 on the point. That train would still be coasting too a stop.
