Seattle was a stopover on my trips to Essex, Montana. As I watched the Burlington Northern trains headed east, I thought of them about to make their conquest of the Cascades and then the Rockies. My visits to Seattle were filled with anticipation.
The Waterfront Trolley ran along the pier alongside Burlington Northern's trains. As the Empire Builder passed by, I thought of the passengers, about to make their cross-country trek. Perhaps some were headed to Essex or Whitefish or East Glacier.
Seattle became one of my favorite places to watch trains. It still is to this day.
