BNSF 2087, a GP38-2 built in May 1972, leads the Renton Rocket through the Seattle North Portal. These Boeing fuselages are built in Wichita and shipped by rail to Renton, WA where they become finished 737's.
Shortly after follows BNSF 4054, a C44-9W, leads BNSF 1045, BNSF 5984, and a short manifest train southbound through the North Portal.
Earlier that morning, Amtrak 8, the westbound Empire Builder arrives on time in Seattle.
