Amtrak and BNSF busy in Kent, WA (part 2)


This video continues my Kent trip from part 1. My first camera ran out of film, so I had to use a different one. First in this video is a northbound stack train lead by BNSF 8900 8287, and 4146. At last! I've filmed a stack train! After that came Amtrak Cascades train #507 southbound. It slowed down a bit, just as it passed me, perhaps mistaking the track workers for people on the tracks. After that came a mixed freight (manifest) train southbound. The train was mostly baretables, though, which are flat cars and well cars. The train was lead by BNSF 2925, and 2092. It's always great to see some green Burlington Northern Engines! Interestingly, I had seen that train with those engines sitting in a siding track the whole time I was there. Finally, when the left signal went green, it took off, slowly at first, until it sped up as it diverged onto the right track and headed out on the main. These trains were on BNSF's north-south mainline running through western Washington. Amtrak has trackage rights over BNSF's tracks here.
