Title:  BNSF 5177
Description:  BNSF 5177 second and nose closest to the ripe line of double-stack sanitation department containers waiting for clear track to head back north after the Seattle-to-Arlington run - and with the sun peeking out and risk of acquiring too much perfume upon me, I opt to move along... funny how Rail Police is never around when this unit train comes through.

Title:  BNSF 6814
Description:  BNSF 6814 and finally, on the other side of the over-pass, pushing north from the rear - and sort of funny, doesnt look like nearly a mile of covered hoppers stretching off into the distance as the lead pair of units are almost under the Fruit Valley-Lake Shore over-pass in the distance.

UP 8624
Title:  UP 8624
Description:  UP 8624 single pusher moving quickly north behind a double-stack destined for the ports of Seattle-Tacoma in an almost missed it entirely shot into the sun as wed driven over the middle of the consist at the Fruit Valley-Lake Shore Drive over-pass just moments before... so you finally get a picture of my west-side of the north yard nemesis: the fence (or its practice for summer vacation grab shots - not sure which).

BNSF 7875
Title:  BNSF 7875
Description:  BNSF 7875 and dumb luck or clean-living, either way, Ill take it as this rounds out the two-fer on the front to match the twosome on the back of this southbound double-stack now posing in the passing lane. Just because theres not much to see doesnt mean something good wont turn up (see Station folder for June 01, 2016... then Felida folder for same date - and note that the last image in the Felida folder is less than 60 minutes after this one).
