Picky picky picky... BTW, this train will often stage in Seattle, WA for a day or two before heading up the line to B.C. Suspect this is due to timing issues @ unloading facility as well as capacity restraints on the line north of Everett. Basically, the train has to have a straight shot thru to the border; it won't fit in most sidings on the line. Most common location for staging in Seattle is along Airport Way South of Lucile st.
