Stevens is a low traffic route. expect an average of 6-8 moves per day. Be equipped with a good map, a car ready for gravel roads, a spare tire, and a perpartion to chase. Speeds are not high on the hill so you can intercept a train many times if you chase it up the hill from Goldbar. On the hill itself, also check out Foss River and Berne. Much of the pass is 4x4 only access, and vast stretches are rarely photographed as they require hiking in. If you have time, continue your GN trip eastward to Wenatchee, Rock Island, and Trinidad, all near the Columbia. If you're making your way north from Seattle, consider checking out the BNSF Scenic Sub from Interbay through Everett. Lots of waterside views, much different scenery than the upper Scenic Sub. You also get a lot of Canada bound traffic on that leg, plus Amtrak Cascades.
