Videos

Here are some videos I shot this trip of the Spirit of Washington dinner train.

Spirit of Washington, Part One
Youtube Video - Street running in Renton, WA - Uploaded on Jun 9, 2007, I shot the Spirit of Washington, a dinner train, that runs from Renton to Woodinville, Washington. It uses rare F-units for power. The track it runs on is due to be removed for a highway project and it only has about a month left to run. They ran two Spirit trains yesterday, including a lunch charter train for employees of T-mobile. The Quicktime movie above is the Spirit of Washington leaving Renton, followed by the BNSF's Maltby Turn.
Spirit of Washington, Part Duex
Youtube Video - On June 8, 2007 I shot video of the Spirit of Washington, a dinner train, that runs from Renton to Woodinville, Washington. It uses rare F-unit locomotives. The track it runs on is due to be removed. They ran two Spirit trains on June 8, including a lunch charter train for employees of T-mobile. The Quicktime movie is the train after it left Renton. This video focuses on the train in Woodinville, Washington. This Track Warrants Video follows part one, previously released.
Spirit of Washington, Part 3
Youtube Video - The last of my three part coverage of the Spirit in June of 2007. This provides an overview of all three videos with special coverage of the return of the day's lunch charter and the spectacular trestle near Bellevue. This also features the Oriskany Strings song, The Train Don't Run Here Anymore.
