BNSF 2721 - BNSF 1504
Title:  BNSF 2721 - BNSF 1504
Description:  BNSF 2721 - BNSF 1504 down on the lower level aimed nearly perpendicular to the United Grain tracks with NW Pack to the left, warehouses to the right, port cranes in the background, sewage/waste water treatment plant hiding behind the evergreen trees. As a side note, a special thank you to the engineer at the helm for making my sons day that dreary Sunday with the special wave and chugging right alongside motions - after a dumpy day, he was extremely bubbly for quite some time and created quite the special moment for him - thank you.

BNSF 2721 ( BNSF 1504 being a little shy behind her)
Title:  BNSF 2721 ( BNSF 1504 being a little shy behind her)
Description:  BNSF 2721 ( BNSF 1504 being a little shy behind her) leaving the station-wye area and making the unrealistic drop down into the lower yard area between United Grain and the sewage treatment plant after passing between Northwest Pack and warehouses. If we ever modeled this steep of an incline, wed get called on it every time being told that doesnt happen in the real world! because that drop occurs over such a short _curve_ my model power units would never be able to make it back up and it would look much more silly than this.

BNSF 2721 - BNSF 2112
Title:  BNSF 2721 - BNSF 2112
Description:  BNSF 2721 - BNSF 2112 working the large, over one mile long, Port of Vancouver loop west of the "lower yard" in Vancouver, south of Vancouver Lake - under hot, clear, blue skies (those double A/C roof units serving double duty in 2015 with our record number of scorcher days)... you really have to feel for the brakeman/switchmen crew with all the required safety gear they have to wear on an afternoon like this.

BNSF 2721 - BNSF 1948 on the turn-table spur, BNSF 8361 and PNWR 2312 - PNWR 2315 - PNWR 2311 in background
Title:  BNSF 2721 - BNSF 1948 on the turn-table spur, BNSF 8361 and PNWR 2312 - PNWR 2315 - PNWR 2311 in background
Description:  BNSF 2721 on the turn-table (as if on cue to prove me wrong ap Id recently pointed out Id never got to see it work... now I have - more later in this paragraph) recently disconnected from her sister BNSF 1948, and getting spun around to place them long nose - to - long nose. Out on the passing lane with northbound covered hopper pushing duty is BNSF 8361 whileÚQNWR 2312 - PNWR 2315 - PNWR 2311 trio waits to exit out of the north ladder yard with southbound local mixed freight into Portland. As for the round table / turn table... it was neat to watch, although being sunset and looking into the sun a little challenging (I know, complaining about cool train stuff, I feel funny doing it) - but the sound - talk about absolute let down (and my ears bleed for the poor workers) - theres no*deep rumble, no satisfying clanks or clicks - only high pitched, whines and squeals (you know, like trackside wheel sets that just screech to high-heaven and make your jaw ache). So save your money on the sound equipped DCC turn table option (hr hope our new table is just modern wussy sounds and the classic, pre-1950s version is more cool.
