SeattleRailFan's video: Stack train meets coal train in Seattle WA 3-26-14

@Stack train meets coal train in Seattle, WA, 3-26-14
I'm hanging out trackside near the Horton Street crossing in south Seattle. The Main 1 signal shows Approach Medium, heralding the arrival of southbound stack train. She is led by BNSF 5097 (C44-9W) followed by another BNSF unit, a UP loco and then a Norfolk Southern unit. UP or NS locos on BNSF trains aren't real common but they do show up from time to time. The train isn't at full track speed as she'll stop around the corner and setout some cars for Stacy Yard. Just as she hits the next crossing, a northbound coal train comes by on Main 3. A Citirail leased unit leads, followed by two BNSF locos in Heritage colors and the DPU in the old Executive scheme. Now that was an eclectic bunch of locos! Dash 9's in two flavors (4400hp and 4000hp), three versions of the SD70 (MAC, M and ACe) and a Evolution series GE. The SD70s and Dash 9s date from the '90s, the ES from the 2000's and the ACe was built in 2013. Three units have DC motors, 5 have AC motors. Paint schemes include thee in BNSF H1 colors, two of which are in a series with poor quality paint that faded quickly (a "faded pumpkin"), one in BNSF "Executive" (reminiscent of the old Northern Pacific passenger train colors), a fresh shiny BNSF H3 unit, UP Armor Yellow, NS "Thoroughbred" and a grey Citirail unit. Stack: 5097 / 9984 / UP 4580 / NS 9012 C44-9W / SD70MAC / SD70M / C40-9W Coal: CREX 1311 / BNSF 8808 / 9028 / 9636 ES44AC / SD70MAC / SD70ACe / SD70MAC
