Seattle to southern Oregon...


Last night drifted into today as the Starlight arrived nearly 5 hours late Sunday night. This meant the moves to re-attach us to the train, turn it, and wash it, started about 1am Monday morning. A fair number of us stayed up to watch it all.


In the "car wash".










The action started up again around 8am Monday morning with the yard crew taking us back to the station for Amtrak boarding and a nearly on-time departure around 10am.

The Museum of Flight near the Seattle airport. Several from our group visited it Sunday. Well worth the easy bus ride.
