The train crosses the Cascade Mountains and then runs alongside Puget Sound from Everett to Seattle. It is a very picturesque trip!

Linking to Friday's Fences and Sunday Bridges.
The first few photos reminded me of the wild west as seen in old movies. I especially love the sunset photo with all the little channels on the beach.
ReplyDeletewhat a great train ride to take! beautiful scenes.
ReplyDeleteFabulous post, Sally! Lots of bridges! Lots of great scenery! There is something quite fine about traveling by train you just don't get by car or plane. «Louis» is delighted that you linked this with Sunday Bridges. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great train ride! You saw lots of beautiful scenery. I've driven that road through the mountains so some of those scenes look familiar. Enjoy the week!
ReplyDeleteYou have some incredible shots! I love the photo of the train driving into the mist and, of course, the photos of Seattle. It's one of my all-time favourite cities to visit.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great train ride! I would love to take it. I saw the Mukilteo Lighthouse when I was in Washington State several years ago. Saw several others too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely trip - we like to go by train but haven't for some time now. I loved all the different things that you saw, and took photos of.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fine trip. Love all your pictures. We have a fairly new station in Stanwood and I want to go somewhere by train. Portland, BC even Bellingham would be fun. I have been on a train only once a few years ago to Portland for my work. It was fun. MB
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos -- Chamber of Commerce worthy. We love trains...wish I had more opportunity to take them!
ReplyDeleteThey have boat shows here in Florida...can you work them?
