No Coal Trains
Title:  No Coal Trains
Description:  Coal trains are a big issue in the Pacific Northwest as environmental and local groups are fighting to reduce or even end shipments of coal by rail. They are citing health effects of coal and diesel exhaust as well as possible derailments. One critic has stated that lines may see between 60 and 100 more coal trains every day (!), which BNSF, not surprisingly, has debunked. In northwest Washington the Everett to Roberts Bank BC line has had numerous civic meetings on the issue and signs like this one are popping up in a lot of towns. One alternative (and highly unlikely) plan that has been mentioned involved re-laying track on the former NP Sumas line further east to avoid towns like Mount Vernon. A plan to build a large, new export terminal near Bellingham WA may go to vote now. We'll have to see what happens.

Mount Vernon Terminal Railway
Title:  Mount Vernon Terminal Railway
Description:  The Mount Vernon Terminal Rwy was formed in 1939 when it took over about 2.5 miles of track from the Pacific Northwest Traction line. It currently operates several hundred yards of track with two industries and car storage for revenue. A roughly 1-mile stretch that ran south through town to a cold storage facility was abandoned in 2005. This shot looks northeast into its 'yard'; the BNSF (BN, GN) main to Vancouver BC runs to the right. Interstate 5 crosses the line immediately behind the photographer; the engine house is in its shadow.
