SeattleRailFan's video: Garbage train meets Passenger train in Tukwila WA 6-17-2014

@Garbage train meets Passenger train in Tukwila, WA, 6-17-2014
Today I'm just south of the Black River control point in Tukwila, WA (just south of Seattle). A garbage train has just come around the curve on Main 2 heading southbound. I can see the northbound Main 1 signal is green, so I'm hoping that perhaps we'll get two trains meeting. The garbage train is led by BNSF 5962 (ES44AC) with 968 (C44-9W) trailing. The lack of 20-foot open top containers means this is the EVEROO (Everett to Roosevelt) train. She's loaded with trash headed to the landfill. Just as she passes under the I-405 freeway, our northbound train shows up. It's the Amtrak Cascades passenger train being led by AMTK 140 (P42DC). Nothing like a whiff of fresh garbage to enhance your train trip! The engineer gave a little bit of whistle as they passed. Love it! And you can see them "knock down" the signal as they pass it.
