P42DC 10 leads the southbound Coast Starlight through Control Point Tukwila on a cloudy morning in June. Control Point Tukwila is where the BNSF and Union Pacific Seattle mainlines converge for the final 7 miles into downtown. The control point is viewable from two points, an area south of the junction where Monster Road parallels the tracks for around 400 feet, and from a walking trail across the Green River from the tracks. Other than a few pesky thorny bushes, the trail is peaceful area to photograph. We set up here at 10:03 for the Starlight to pass, running right on time after departing King Street Station just 8 miles north. |
