SeattleRailFan's video: Two trains meet at Tukwila Station 11-15-2013

@Two trains meet at Tukwila Station, 11-15-2013
Today I'm at Tukwila Station in Tukwila, WA - about 15 miles south of Seattle. A northbound manifest freight led by BNSF 5259 (C44-9W) is approaching. I'm going handheld with the camera because today I'm going to something that you can't do at most railfanning locations. Here at the station there is an underpass that allows you to walk underneath the tracks. The only thing between you and the rails are some beefy timbers. This allows you to start filming on one side of the tracks, walk under the moving train and finish up on the other side. Pretty cool, eh? A new station is under construction here and I don't know if this underpass will be around when the new station is done, so I wanted to get this video done sooner rather than later. While filming, I saw the southbound Main 1 signal was green. That turned out to be for an Amtrak Coast Starlight train that snuck up on me and blew past in the middle of the shoot. 5259 / 1061 / 9573 / 1973 C44-9W / C44-9W / SD70MAC / SD40-2 AMTK 41 / SDRX 466 P42DC / F59PHI
