Got RAW?
Just wanted to get started the sharing of photos with the rest of the world from the Annual confab in Stevens Pass Washington on the BNSF Scenic Sub..
Big thanks to Roscoe for organizing and hosting the get together. Also a call out to Henry and his staff at the Cascadia Inn for their hospitality and service in Skykomish.
This year ended up being one of the best events, pretty lucky for my first time at it.
Stack train cresting westbound grade prior to plunging into the east portal of Cascade Tunnel.
Same train passing under US2 after exiting west portal of tunnel.
Baretable train at West Winton
Z train on the grade at East Winton
My non streaking version of the Empire builders friday night passage through Skykomish.
After an early breakfast at the Cascadia we catch this stack train taking the siding at Scenic at the snow is starting to fall.
Finally this westbound stack train popped out of the tunnel.
It was really starting to dump on the east side where the eastbound stack from the in the hole at Scenic catches up to us at the "The Slot"
Up to East Portal where it is really piling up.
Really we are having FUN!
It is coming down so fast not that the snow is piling up high enough between trains that the engines plows are pushing snow.
Another westbound crests the grade before plunging into the darkness of Cascade Tunnel.
East Skykomish
Skykomish transformed into a winter wonder land.
Other will have more amazing shots to contribute I am sure.
