SeattleRailFan's video: Trains in the Rain in Auburn WA 1-23-2016

@Trains in the Rain in Auburn, WA 1-23-2016
I was down in Auburn, WA (about 20 miles south of Seattle) on rainy, overcast day. Fortunately, Auburn Station has a covered pedestrian overpass, which enables one to shoot video without getting the camera soaking wet. Listening to my scanner, I heard a train approaching. So I trudged up to the overpass and set up for the shot. Our first train was a short manifest freight, running south on Main 1. The lead engine was a leaded engine, CREX 1329 (ES44AC). The rain slacked off a bit, so I went down on the platforms, where I could still shoot under cover of the overpass. Next up was an Amtrak Cascades passenger train, running south on Main 1. The train was led by a non-powered cab car with AMTK 93 (P42DC) pushing on the rear. Twenty minutes later and the northbound Main 1 signal went to Approach Medium then to Clear. So I setup to see what was coming. As I waited, a track inspector came motoring down Main 2 in his Hy-Rail truck. And our last train came into view, a garbage train led by BNSF 5004 (C44-9W). This would be an empty train, coming from the landfill in Roosevelt, WA and headed to either Seattle or Everett. Freight: CREX 1329 / BNSF 7955 ES44AC / ES44C4 Amtrak: AMTK 93 / P42DC Garbage: 5004 / 4150 C44-9W / C44-9W
