Hello Dru: The 5.6 % grade is in fact just off the main-line in Everett Washington. It's used to move Boeing air-plane parts and fuselages from the water front up to the Boeing assembly plant at Paine Field. It's quite an operation. The special engines they use needless to say have horrendous dynamic braking power. <br /> <br />As for the 2.2% grade, yes that is main-line grade for about 25 miles in the Cascade Mtn. area. This is the main east-west express route the B.N.S.F. uses for shipping their container business etc. Amtrak also uses this line. It's a great ride in the summer, going through our 8 mile Cascade tunnel. The views are great. Not as good as Glacier Park, but darned good just the same. Think about the trip. You would probably start in Seattle, and run as far east as you wanted. If you go, place your-self on the firemans side, as leaving Seattle you first travel along spectacular water front called Puget Sound...Good Luck...Hommie
