The iconic Space Needle is also in the background(to the left of the skyscrapers). http://www.railpictures.net/photo/315236/ Wendell Idaho, USA

A Union Pacific locomotive switching the cars off of a barge at Harbor Island in Seattle, Washington. The Alaska Railroad(ARR) owns this barge and it provides the best way to interchange cars with other railroads. The ARR interchanges with the BNSF Railway and Union Pacific Railroad out of Seattle. The ARR interchanges with the Canadian National Railway out of Prince Rupert, British Columbia. http://www.railpictures.net/photo/352169/ Wendell Idaho, USA

Nice pictures, Jamie. I had driven through Cheyenne and Laramie, Wyoming within the last two weeks. Southeastern Wyoming is a good place to watch Union Pacific trains. Wendell Idaho, USA

Here's a couple more pictures of San Clemente, California. This time it is with Amtrak's Pacific Surfliner doing the show.

Here are some pictures of Glenwood Canyon between Denver and Grand Junction, Colorado. The Interstate 70(I-70) freeway and the Colorado River traverses this canyon. Union Pacific(formerly Rio Grande, then Southern Pacific), BNSF, and Amtrak all utilizes the Glenwood Canyon for transcontinental travel. I have driven through this canyon a lot of times within the last two decades(mostly as a professional truck driver). http://www.railpictures.net/photo/549151/ http://www.railpictures.net/photo/410112/ http://www.railpictures.net/photo/391886/ http://www.railpictures.net/photo/294107/ http://www.railpictures.net/photo/382802/ http://www.railpictures.net/photo/169165/ http://www.railpictures.net/photo/174808/ Wendell Idaho, USA

Approaching Cisco Crossing. _DSC4917.JPG The CP bridge. _DSC4924.JPG I really like the pictures that you had shared of Cisco, British Columbia, Canada(with the bridge over the Fraser River). Model Railroader magazine had just started an article series(in the January 2019 issue) that will span over the next few months about the N scale Canadian Canyons layout. The layout features the Fraser and Thompson River canyons in British Columbia. Wendell Idaho, USA

I totally agree with you, Ian. The animal-rights activists such as PETA(People For The Ethical Treatment Of Animals) have literally shut down most of the circus industry over here Stateside. Wendell Idaho, USA

Nice video clip of the Coast Starlight in my native state of California. Wendell Idaho, USA

A real life version of Lance Mindheim's switching layout(sort of speak). Nice video, Jack! Wendell Idaho, USA

Anaheim is about 35 miles(56 kilometers) southeast of Los Angeles via the Santa Ana Freeway(Interstate 5 or I-5). Happy New Year to everyone! http://www.railpictures.net/photo/369795/ Wendell Idaho, USA
