Date: December 1, 2023
My second compilation video! Many train meets, friendly crews, rare units, wonderful railfanning day overall!
Shot 1: Sound Transit Light Rail, 1 line, arriving at Seattle-Tacoma Airport station.
Shot 2: Amtrak 505 Cascades departing King Street Station at 2:11 P.M.
Shot 3: Sound Transit S line arriving King Street Station, its origin point, at 2:36 P.M. with darkness already begging to settle in. For some reason F59PHI unit 910’s bell and headlights were still on when going in reverse. The engineer gave a friendly wave too.
Shot 4: First train meet. BNSF 5999 manifest stops at King Street Station at 2:39 P.M., waiting for the Sound Transit to depart.
Shot 5: Sound Transit S line departing King Street Station at 2:41 P.M.
Shot 6: BNSF 5999 manifest departs King Street Station at 2:45 P.M., with lots of engine power.
Shot 7: RARE TRIPLE TRAIN MEET! Amtrak 504 Cascades meets massive quadruple headed BNSF manifest as Sound Transit S line train departs King Street Station at 3:33 P.M. I could not get the BNSF leader unit number since I wasn’t there on time. All BNSF units were facing toward too, something not usually seen on freight trains.
Shot 8: Another rare train meet! Quadruple headed BNSF manifest departs as another BNSF manifest (or a local if I am mistaken) rolls through King Street Station, with unit 799 having the Sante Fe Warbonnet paint scheme as the leader. Also having a gp38 unit, number 2709 as the second unit, and GEVO 6957 trailing. Video taken at 3:41 P.M.
Shot 9: Sound Transit S line arriving at King Street Station at 3:47 P.M., this time have Bombardier cab car 301 leading, with another friendly engineer giving a salute.
Shot 10: Sound Transit S line departing King Street Station at 3:55 P.M.
Shot 11 (final): Amtrak 8 Empire Builder departing King Street Station at 4:54 P.M., with another S line Sound Transit train boarding passengers. The video was taken inside the waiting room, so I could not get the engines nor the baggage car, though I did see beforehand that ALC-42 unit 322 was leading.
Also apologies for my tripod squeaking sometimes when rotating the camera. Hope you enjoy!
