2026-2 | Officer Special at Edmonds

Описание: When I heard there would be an officer special train departing east from Seattle, I made a special trip to Edmonds, Washington to catch it along the Puget Sound shore. As sometimes happens, I only had one of my two cameras ready to shoot when the anticipated train arrived on the scene. So, I made a repeat visit later to see what other trains I could capture. All the footage from both days is in this episode.

Thank you to all the railroaders who report for duty at every hour of the day and night to make these operations possible.
