This Space for Rent

Railroad picture of the day

BNSF3015_MarineDrive

I ride by the switching leads along Marine Drive all the time, but I’ve never seen anything in operation on them until this afternoon. I was almost to my turnaround point at Kelley Point Park when I saw the familiar 70s-style BN logo at a distance, so I pulled the Trek to a stop, grabbed my camera, and trotted across Marine Drive to get pictures.

Switching auto carriers is really boring, because (in this case) they are filled with autos, which don’t take well to being slammed around with gay abandon. So the 3015 was gingerly pulling the carriers forward, then gingerly pushing them back to assemble the train, and I eventually tired of taking pictures and continued on into the howling arctic blasts of Kelley Point Park.
