Yesterday while railfanning the Seattle Sub at Kalama, Washington I witnessed the northbound Amtrak Cascades heading to Seattle with UP 1988, The Katy, on the head end. Extremely surprising that it would be a "random" locomotive to choose to fill in, but amazing to see nonetheless! It was moving at full passenger track speed as well, impressive.

Marty, it runs on steam!
I saw it sitting at King Street while we boarded the Leavenworth Snow train but it was so dark I didn't get any good shots...
