West Coast Railfanning

This summer, we went west and checked out several great trains from southern California to British Columbia. Here are just a few pictures.

The piers at San Francisco Bay all, at one time, had train tracks of some sort. This one was designed to load rail cars on to car ferries. Pretty cool to look at the mechanics of this!

Eureka, CA is home to several abandoned GP7s. Most are former SP, but this is not. Amazing they haven't been scrapped.

Check out the torpedo air tanks and wagon wheel radio antenna!

These Tacoma Rail Geeps look sharp.

Plane spam! Boeings 787-9 demo! Shame it's blurry, but Washington's roads aren't the best.
