PNWR 2309 - PNWR 2311 - PNWR 2317(?) - PNWR ???? preparing to depart with the local mixed freight south out of the Vancouver yard... and the hazards of train watching on Sunday... they say the Lord waits for no one... neither does the better half... so much for catching the last two registries on film. |

| Description: |
PNWR 2309 - PNWR 2301 - PNWR 2311 - PNWR 2312 power quad ready to pick up southbound local mixed freight from the north yard area at Vancouver Center in the spray of dying evening light across from the pool... I mean, turn pool-table... I mean... turn-table... through drizzly skies (if youve never been to the Pacific Northwest, it does take a little to get used to the fact sun or even blue skies (if and when they occur) can still be accompanied by rain - like in this shot where it looks like a sunset glare, but its really refracted light through the rain). |

PNWR 2315 - PNWR 2312 - PNWR 2311 and BNSF 1779 making the excuse to get a picture of our new turntables current state and the northern section of our new wye-by-pass lane under conditions not requiring waders, umbrella (as if I owned one), and liquid sunshine. |

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. |
