clouds, BNSF switchers 2100/GP38-2 and 2880/GP39M, 12:30 pm...18 Feb, 2016

 picture A, looking NW
BNSF switchers 2100/GP38-2, built 11/1974 and 2880/GP39M, built 12/1964 having JUST unhooked from the brick red BNSF 3 bay hopper to the right and moving S on the main track between First St. and Second St., Sumas, WA.  Behind the engines is the wooded knoll known as Moe's Hill, a local landmark, the N slope of which is in Canada.

2100 and 2880 have picked up a string of container cars used to haul urban refuse and are moving them N towards the Sumas Industrial Park on the main track about 1/2 mile S of Sumas, WA.  This picture taken by Deborah Morgan with a telephoto from Garrison Rd.  A cloud shrouded Black Mountain looms in the background the N slope of which is in Canada.  Thanks for visiting Railfan in Sumas, WA., a visual diary of rail transport in my community.
