SeattleRailFan's video: The Goldbar Turn in Edmonds WA 1-27-14

It's a typical dreary, cold winter day in the Pacific Northwest. I'm hanging out next to the off-leash dog park on the beach in Edmonds, WA waiting for the Goldbar Turn to arrive. The Goldbar Turn comes down from Delta Yard in Everett to service Paramount Petroleum. Paramount makes asphalt products. I heard the crew talk to dispatch and get permission to leave Paramount and come out on the mainline. Then they called in to say they had a stop signal at milepost 16. I'm at mile post 17.5 or so, so they are just around the corner from me. While waiting for them to get a highball, I shot some video of what was going on around me. Speedboats, ferry boats and container ships on Puget Sound, various birds and some dogs swimming in the Sound. Only a dog would be dumb enough to swim in that freezing cold water. I got the chills just watching them! Finally, the train comes around the curve with BNSF 2651 (GP39-3) leading a short 9-car train of tankers and BNSF 2361 (GP38-2) bringing up the rear. If you look past the train as she's on the curve, you can see the storage tanks of Paramount in the distance.
