J train in the Winton siding, Scenic Subdivision.

Scenic headed into the mountain. It’s out little Moria at 7.8 miles long under Cowboy Mountain. The longest tunnel in the US.

About to head up the mountain.

Can anyone tell me what’s wrong with this picture? #iykyk

My boss took these pictures with his drone of my entire empty coal train chugging up the hill towards Scenic, WA. Foss River bridge, WA.

A night to remember. Using a Q train to tow my boss from the snow. Truly a night full of improvisation. Winton, WA.

Sumas Sub, WA. Pretty up here!

Not the best picture, but you can imagine how amazing it was in person to see this sun rise. Auburn, WA. Seattle Sub.

This is why you don’t stand next to the tracks people. Rarely, things break loose on a train, and can strike objects or people adjacent to the tracks. This was a 8 foot break chain hanging off my train. Very dangerous to anyone standing too close to the passing train. Cashmere, WA. Scenic Sub.

When the vehicle train just keeps popping. Sometimes you just got to improvise! Merritt, WA.

Mule deer. One of them followed me for about 500 feet while I walked an air test of a vehicle train at Wenatchee, WA. Curious little critters…

Skykomish, WA a couple of years back. This is what it looks like when you hit a small snow slide after you pass a clear block. And no, you can’t see out of the front windows.

“That belongs in a museum!” Wellington,WA. Deadliest avalanche in U.S. history. Two trains and most of a town gets destroyed and plummets down into the Tye River valley. This is one of the stoves from the caboose of one of the trains. It will be donated to the Skykomish museum soon enough.

East Scenic, WA.

A few months ago, Leavenworth, WA.

Why is it vehicle cars always give me all the issues…? Right there is your problem ! East Monroe, WA.

Pit stop at west Berne siding, piloting a rail grinder west towards Seattle, WA. Just before we enter East portal, Cascade tunnel.

East Scenic, Scenic Sub, Looking towards Cowboy Mountain. Just about to enter the 7.8 mile tunnel under the mountain while heading east from Seattle to Wenatchee, WA.
