Cascading Across the Bay: Amtrak train number 516 crosses Chuckanut Bay as it nears the next stop at Bellingham, Washington. This train is bound for Vancouver, B.C. I've been trying to get this shot for quite a while but due to the angle of the sun when this train typically passes by, you are often looking directly into the sun for a large part of the year. The winter months provide the best opportunities for photographing the train at this location.
With two sections of the Empire Builder, the Coast Starlight, Seattle, the Cascade Mountains, Columbia Valley and Puget Sound, Washington state offers rail buffs plenty of variety and beauty.
