Contrary to most recent
Cascades consists, power was at the north end of this train. And while the usual ex-F40 non-powered cab units are eerily silent except for the sound of the wheels, the new cab car's generator is almost as loud as a powered locomotive.
The new trainsets can also be spotted by the high-mounted windows in the Bistro car. Passengers can actually see outside while standing in line at the Bistro counter.
Does have a more 'European' look and matches up much better to the rest of the trainset than the former f40 cab units. I almost expected to see buffer posts. I guess the cab won't be nearly as quiet, eh? Look forward to spotting it here in Auburn.
This has to be 500 or 506 since 510 runs between Seattle and Vancouver BC

I saw one for the second time today at Tenino, but was going away from me so I couldn't get a good shot.
I still don't understand how the unions signed off on a cab this low to the tracks...
Just caught one on a side road off the I-5 exit just north of the Toutle River. This had some kind of white Portland promo wrap on the third car, it went by too fast to get a good shot of it.
Gads, it
never stops being ugly...
