Excellent combination of reports. They will help all of us understand the scope of this movement.

From my two views, two Northbounds cruised thru many gradecrossings "as if they were the Masters of all from Georgetown to Interbay", because they were. Just watching "the parting of the waters".

Shall we presume that departures from Auburn and Interbay are designed to avoid commute time in Seattle. Stops would sure cause "news".

Let's keep watching and rooting for the good guys. Murphy is lurking at every crossing.

Many years ago, I watched the same act, inbound on the BNSF's triple-track into Chicago. Front window, next to the engineer all the way, approaching evening rush hour. WOW

Chicago transit cars had railfan seats and windows on the left side opposite every operator's cab. Even the locals enjoyed them. George Krambles earned his way from the Indiana Railroad to the CTA's corner office; once a railfan, always a railfan.

He helped us design the Seattle transit tunnel. Making it operator friendly.
