SeattleRailFan's video: Three freight trains southbound on Main 2 Kent WA 7-27-2015

@Three freight trains southbound on Main 2, Kent, WA, 7-27-2015
Today I'm in Kent, WA, about 15 miles south of Seattle. I've set up just south of downtown. From here I can see the southbound signals at CP Willis, which helps me know if a train is approaching. First up is a garbage train on Main 2, led by BNSF 7039 (ES44C4). This train originated from either Seattle or Everett and is headed to the landfill in Roosevelt, WA. Next, I heard a crew calling Centralia North Dispatch looking for permission to come off the Industrial Lead onto the main and head south for Auburn Yard and Tacoma Yard. The Industrial Lead is a long siding that connects to Main 2 about 3/4 mile north of me. This is likely either Crew 7 or Crew 9, they serve customers in this area. On the scanner they reported their train as: 2 loads, 42 empties, 2195 tons and 3342 feet. And, the engineer of BNSF 1461 (SD60M) gave me a wave as they passed, which is always appreciated! Nice to see these old BN units still working hard. Last up was a manifest freight, also on Main 2. Leading was CREX 1307 (ES44AC). This is a leased unit, I see these around here all the time. Garbage: 7039 / 7548 ES44C4 / ES44DC Local: 1461 / 1425 SD60M / SD60M Freight: CREX 1307 / 4587 / 4014 ES44AC / C44-9W / C44-9W
