Viewing Album: Vancouver, WA. Trips Four and Five.

By:	Tristan Gagnon
Dates:	11/8/2012 - 12/13/2012
Album Info:	Trip number 4 via Amtrak Cascades to see my brother in his new hometown and my railfanning heaven, Vancouver Washington. I'm from Springfield Oregon and thats the state where ive spent very close to 100% of all my railfanning time. "The Depot Inside the Wye" has been a very big change for me as a railfan, and im loving every second of it.... no more hours of waiting just to end up with one train (definitely taught me patience though), all sorts of colorful locomotives old and new, on or off their home rails, coal, lumber, tankers, grainers, intermodal, passenger and more trains with double tracked legs of each wye being the junction between BNSF's Seattle and Fallbridge Subdivisions with a modest and friendly Amtrak depot in between all the action. Thank you to rrpicturearchives for allowing me to share something i love doing very much and to all of the viewers, I hope you enjoy.
