BNSF's Winter Wonderland: BNSF's Vancouver, BC to Vancouver, WA mixed freight manifest comes around a sweeping curve and under Chuckanut Drive on a crisp, sunny winter day. To the left is the old right of way of an interurban railroad which once connected Bellingham and Mount Vernon, WA. On the right is the site of a long demolished lumber mill. North of here, Chuckanut Drive sits on the former right of way of a logging railroad that once served the mill. The only reminders still visible today are some timber pilings that protrude from Colony Creek.
