This is everyone's favorite train to protest in Washington State.  Last May, 15 people were arrested for blocking the tracks along the Anacortes Spur.  

This video of an empty oil train crossing over the Swinomish Swing Bridge is one of my favorite scenes, but a lot of controversy exists between BNSF and the Swinomish tribe, to say nothing of the environmentalists.

Bang Head    Yard Limit: Your Point is?          The use of You Tube videos is a legitimate tool to illustrate a point of interest on these Forums. But to shamelessly promote one's own video serves only one's personal interest in 'pimping'  a video to gain financially.. Seems to be  a  pretty crass move.  IMHO.  My 2 Cents
