More Rocky Mountains. We would enter them somewhere near sunset due to the lateness of the train. |
|
|
The setting sun near Shelby, MT. Sunsets are my 3rd favorite thing to photograph behind trains and roller coasters! |
|
|
Taking a break at Shelby, MT just after sunset. |

Dinner on the 2nd night on the Empire Builder. Oven-fried chicken with mashed potatoes & rice pilaf, good eats!!! |
|
|
It's a tight space but a Superliner Roomette is still comfortable and serves the purpose! |
|
|
Taking a break at Everett, WA. It may be seriously foggy but that signal is green!!! |

This station also serves Sounder commuter trains as well. |

A transload facility on the Puget Sound. |

|
I wonder how that boat ended up on land??? |
|
|
The Puget Sound is absolutely beautiful!!! |
|
|
A pedestrian/car ferry boat getting ready to depart. |
|
|
I think I need to go buy a boat!!! |
|
|
This sure looks like a really nice place to live!!! |
|
|
Looking out towards Puget Sound, I would think the fishing here is pretty good! |
|
|
Some more big fishing vessels as we're coming into Seattle! |
|
|
Passing Pier 70 on the Puget Sound. I would see this again later from the Space Needle! |
|
|
Having just arrived in Seattle, WA is the Empire Builder! |
