BNSF 1948
Title:  BNSF 1948
Description:  BNSF 1948 in the self-serve lane in Vancouver - the glow of the lights below the eaves of the building in the background sort of give away the actual lighting conditions - but digital to the rescue to make Vancouver, WA look like a great spot to visit weather-wise in February (isnt everyone dark by 4:20 in the afternoon in February?)

Title:  BNSF 2925 - BNSF 1948
Description:  BNSF 2925 - BNSF 1948 waiting patiently in the south side of the service area. It only looks like it was pouring rain... it was really (this message brought to you by the "Visit Sunny Vancouver, WA!" Tourism Dept) a bright, sunny (BS) day/week.

BNSF 2721 - BNSF 1948 on the turn-table spur, BNSF 8361 and PNWR 2312 - PNWR 2315 - PNWR 2311 in background
Title:  BNSF 2721 - BNSF 1948 on the turn-table spur, BNSF 8361 and PNWR 2312 - PNWR 2315 - PNWR 2311 in background
Description:  BNSF 2721 on the turn-table (as if on cue to prove me wrong as Id recently pointed out Id never got to see it work... now I have - more later in this paragraph) recently disconnected from her sister BNSF 1948, and getting spun around to place them long nose - to - long nose. Out on the passing lane with northbound covered hopper pushing duty is BNSF 8361 while PNWR 2312 - PNWR 2315 - PNWR 2311 trio waits to exit out of the north ladder yard with southbound local mixed freight into Portland. As for the round table / turn table... it was neat to watch, although being sunset and looking into the sun a little challenging (I know, complaining about cool train stuff, I feel funny doing it) - but the sound - talk about absolute let down (and my ears bleed for the poor workers) - theres no deep rumble, no satisfying clanks or clicks - only high pitched, whines and squeals (you know, like trackside wheel sets that just screech to high-heaven and make your jaw ache). So save your money on the sound equipped DCC turn table option (or hope our new table is just modern wussy sounds and the classic, pre-1950s version is more cool.
