| BNSF 4166 leading a southbound-to-eastbound transition through the wye with less than five or ten seconds of "gate up" time from the mixed freight that just came across this at-grade crossing - all while the westbound-to-southbound Amtrak came through - something not previously possible without the new by-pass lane... maybe they were onto something with that freight-vs-passenger snarl that mightve been happening, because 90° to the right of the frame, the Arriving from Spokane and Chicago is paused and preparing to take off, having arrived in the few seconds separating the gate shifts here. |
