cloudy, 'Parked and Idling', 1pm...6 Dec, 2015

BNSF engines 2091/GP38-2, built 11/1974 and 2087/GP38-2, built 5/1972, parked and idling between Second and Third Sts., Sumas, WA.  On the right can be seen Railroad St.  In the earliest part of the 20th century, the east side of Railway St. from Garfield St. to Third St. was filled with early businesses.  Today it is mostly parking.  The mountains in the background are in Canada
