Remarks & Notes |
This empty coal train is about an hour and a half south of Westshore Terminal in neighboring BC, passing Clark's Point in Bellingham, Washington. Empties follow the water level route about another hundred miles then cross over Stevens Pass on the Scenic sub on their way back to the Powder River Basin. It usually takes about half a dozen trains to fill a boat and the loading schedule is determined by the tides. These trains tend to move in packs because of that and this day was no exception with four (3 south and one north) in about as many hours. |
