A Herzog Multi-Purpose-Machine (HZGX 188) spent a few nights on a siding in Puyallup, WA after being spotted by other rail fans working in Lakewood.

The MoW locomotive pulls several well cars, a support/operator cab, and a Komatsu PC228USLC hydraulic excavator that can move along the top of the well cars to perform various MoW functions.

UP 6523 leads a southbound freight train through Tacoma, WA. If I noticed the U.S. District Court building and Chihuly's glass tower was in the background when I snapped this, I wouldn't have cut it off which would have made for a great shot. 2014-05-03

I got called in as a prospect for a job at Amtrak as a Baggage Man in April. Unfortunately I failed the IPCS and was disqualified :(

But I did get a cool (albeit potato quality) panorama of the maintenance yard from the top floor of the administrative office on Holgate St., Seattle.

For our first anniversary, my girlfriend and I went down to Oregon and on the first day, we rode on the Mount Hood scenic railway (her idea).
