SeattleRailFan's video: Empty oil train in Burlington WA 9-24-2013

It was nice sunny fall day, with a beautiful partly cloudy sky - perfect for railfanning! I was again making a delivery to Anacortes, WA. Anacortes is home to a couple of refineries that receive oil trains. As I approached Anacortes on Highway 20, I did not see any trains on the Anacortes Spur. By the time I left about 30 minutes later, I saw much to my delight that a train had come out of the Tesoro refinery while I was in town and was on the east end of the spur. As I approached, I saw that the train had stopped while waiting for dispatch to authorize her to leave the spur and enter the mainline track. She was just throttling up as I passed. I knew I would easily have time to get ahead of her and catch her taking the curve onto the mainline, located in the town of Burlington. I found a parking place near the Spruce St crossing and set up for a nice closeup view. The curve takes the train from eastbound on the spur to southbound on the mainline. This is an empty train, headed back to North Dakota to fill up with another load of crude from the Bakken formation. 5690 / 661 / 4573 / 4403 AC44CW / C44-9W / C44-9W / C44-9W
