    17:30 That’s 2081, a Boeing hill locomotive. It’s one of the only four units certified to take Boeing parts up and down the 5.7% grade from the Puget Sound to the Boeing plant in Everett, WA.
    It was also featured in Microsoft Train Simulator.

      Extended range dynamic brakes. Pretty much allows the train to basically stop with dynos alone. Something normal GP38-2s don’t have.

    That kestrel *was* beautiful--and so were the bald eagles on the ice in Burlington! Loved the reflections from the cart in Flagstaff, but loved the real meteorite in Kearney even more. The repair at Altoona was amazing--I have no idea what they did, but it sure worked! I always like to watch the Loram grinders at work--and just when I think we've seen the best-ever sunrise at Arvada, you show us one that's even better. This edition was packed--bravi and thank you!

    One of these days, that dude is going to attempt to run over an employee while going around gates and get nailed by the train! And then of course, his family will sue the railroad for not providing enough protection from the train. Flashing lights, warning bells, a gate obstructing the road, the horn from the train and a guy in an orange vest waving frantically to stop were not enough warning.

      In the unlikely event that truck driver was thinking at all, he probably thought the gates were down for the barely-moving MOW train.
      Maybe the State of Washington should put up some license plate cameras on the Chehalis crossings. There seems to be enough Darwin candidates in the area that their fines would pay for the cameras pretty quickly.

    @10:15 - A really close call indeed. But there's something fishy there - we didn't see it, but it didn't look like that worker even attempted to stop the truck. Quite the opposite, in fact - he just casually turned away after the truck passed him, almost as if his mindset was the same as the truck driver's. The close call didn't bother him a bit, if he even saw it.

    The driver in the white pickup clearly thought that the crossing gates were down for the slow moving equipment and decided that he could make it, not taking into account the other track could have something coming as well, with the slow equipment blocking his view. This is why it's often stress by safety experts and Operation Lifesaver to always expect another train on double tracked lines. Hopefully that guy's close call taught him a lesson.
