SeattleRailFan's video: A Pair of Trains in Auburn WA 1-18-2016

For my first video of the year, I'm trackside in Auburn, WA - about 20 miles south of Seattle. I'm just north of Auburn Station near the W Main St crossing. The Auburn North signal just north of me is showing Diverging Clear on Main 2 so a train is due soon. It turned out to be an oil train led by BNSF 8215 (ES44C4). She's just coming out of Auburn Yard and is under high throttle getting up to track speed. She's loaded with North Dakota crude headed to a refinery north of Seattle. After waiting around for 30 minutes or so, the Main 1 signal showed Approach Medium so I setup again to see what was coming. This time it was a grain train led by BNSF 6285 (ES44AC). She would be headed for the Louis Dreyfus grain terminal in Seattle. She's definitely fully loaded as I could feel the ground shaking as she passed. Oil train: 8215 / 5495 / 4463 / 6218 ES44C4 / C44-9W / C44-9W / ES44AC Grain train: 6285 / 4389 / 5314 / 4539 ES44AC / C44-9W / C44-9W / C44-9W
