AMTK 117 - AMTK 136 - AMTK 137
Title:  AMTK 117 - AMTK 136 - AMTK 137
Description:  AMTK 117 - AMTK 136 - AMTK 137 triple-header southbound Amtrak... so this is why we have BNSF pumpkins on either of the two mains just stopped and facing off... looks like this could be another one of those multi-meet/pass mornings down by the Felida Moorage.

AMTK 117 - AMTK 136 - AMTK 137
Title:  AMTK 117 - AMTK 136 - AMTK 137
Description:  AMTK 117 - AMTK 136 - AMTK 137 having made the cross-over (look under the observation car to see the near main disappear) the lead Amtrak trio is nearly nose-to-nose with the BNSF to complete the pass after the meet as she proceeds rapidly south out of the Felida at-grade crossing area.

AMTK 117
Title:  AMTK 117
Description:  AMTK 117 at the front of three and hauling south for all hes worth headlong on the same track as a BNSF freight holding at the corner - those high-speed frog cross-overs must be something, because he doesnt seem to be slowing and the signals say hes clear to jump from the east main to the west main in less than a hundred yards... giving him a hundred yards or so before completing the meet-pass of the distant freight... the tail of his consist is just completing the pass of the northern holding freight.

AMTK 117 - BNSF 1504
Title:  AMTK 117 - BNSF 1504
Description:  AMTK 117 - BNSF 1504 - Well, we wouldve got there in time to see AMTK 117 pull into the station... except BNSF 1504 that you see poking her nose up and parked on the incline up to the mains and southern main yard at Vancouver Center has her load stretched out behind her trailing down into the old lower yard and blocking the at-grade crossing back near NW Pack and the official entrance to United Grain - and my usual path to get to the station. Eh, I guess Im here now, so stop complaining.
