On the road to Blaine
Hopped on a north-bound Canadian grainer in the Balmer Yard in Seattle, and eventually blew through my preferred destination of Bellingham; ended up in Blaine. For the car-oriented, Blaine is the border town you run into if you drive Interstate 5 to the US-Canada border. Had a run in with the Border Patrol in the middle of the night but all was resolved…Here are some scenes from the ride north. This first one is going over the Salmon Bay waterway in Ballard.
Lots and lots of empty cars pulled by six engines, stretched out along the Puget Sound.
Here our train is bearing left at the split entering Everett. If the train goes right here onto the upper track, it is bound for Stevens Pass (and Wenatchee)!
Passing over the Snohomish River at Everett, looking upriver at the Highway 529 car bridge.
