Puget Sound & Pacific in HD - Shelton, WA 02/03/2009

We had some spring-like weather yesterday and I was fortunate to catch a few shots of the PSAP returning from Belfair about 3:00pm with double stack garbage loads. The first view is looking north from Johns Prairie Road Crossing. A slow order in effect here 'cause the track is in dire need of maintenance along this stretch. We get some serious rock and roll action.
The film concludes as the train arrives at Shelton by Front Street where the brakeman sets the train for the next crew. GP38-2 #3841, GP40 #520 & GP40-2 #505

Very nice! Have you heard any news on the Simpson line?

[MasCoRailbuff]

there's still a layer of rust on top of the rails at the 12th street crossing.

[muddynmonte]

at one point i heard they were going to save the line to the mill, then i heard talk of abandonement from the west end of the yard to the mill...just curious if you heard anything

I don't know if a final decision has been made yet. The bridge west of 7th street is still waiting to be replaced due to the wash-out. And PSAP has been doing the switching at Olympic Panel.

@Fiddleman200616 The containers are locked together so that they can't fall off the train.
