Snoqualmie has Trains

For our drive through the country, we headed to Snoqualmie. For those of you who know that this is where Twin Peaks was filmed, I will not be showing any of that. Social distancing, remember. too many folks were parking there to look at the falls.



Rather, we drove into town and I had a short walk along the railyard where come old train engines and cars are parked forming a museum of regional train history.

Carrying on with my Saturday morning walk philosophy of using my new longer lens, I focused on smaller bits of the trains. Or, as in the image above, I looked for current passengers.

The tall chain-link fence between me and the trains made it difficult to get photos with the fence in the shot, but this image of a coupling turned out nicely.

I think the colors and textures in this next image work well together.

This old engine has clearly seen better days. It seems she is now mostly working as a planter for moss.

The complicated gears and levers make a curious composition.

Inside the cab still looks a bit like the engineer just walk away (a long time ago).

The cab of the engine is looking pretty sad.
