Thanks Bob. We,ve been warned / urged to take action.

I offer the opinion that the train is a real double ender. Just happens to have a round-end observation inside. Woodinville is fun to watch. Reversing directions happens so quickly.

Once-upon-a-time, I watched a Chicago-area gallery commuter train double back at Harvard, Illinois. "Full speed" into the wye, then "full speed" back out on the other (left) main. Dispatcher appeared to have set the switch machine on automatic. Many times every day.
Yes, it was Chicago North Western country.

=================================================================================================

For those of us that recognize the inevitability of the automobile, 124th / 124th is fun to watch. Sort of a parting of the waters as the Dinner Train comes thru. Fun watching the passengers enjoying dinner in the middle of our busiest streets.

Good view from the parking lot of a storage locker company.

For those haven't been there, the Woodinville Sub crosses one street at about 30 degrees; then about 300 feet further crosses the other street at about 60 degrees. Yes, both are 120th. One is a Street (East-West) and one is an Avenue (North-South) King County Streets and Avenues are based upon Pioneer Square in the South End of Downtown Seattle (near King Street Station). So in Kirkland, we have several intersections of like numbered Streets and Avenues. Fun (?) for newcomers.
