This blog is intended to document the progress of developing and operating my HO scale model of the Burlington Northern Railway, for the purposes of orienting new operators and for my own record of its design process. The layout is located in Seattle, WA and models the area from Tukwila in the south, Bellingham in the north and Skykomish in the east. The time frame of the model is approximately 1973, three years after the merger that created the BN from the GN, NP, SP&S and CB&Q.

the International passing the Sky Local at Carkeek Park in 1973
Here's a couple of shots along the Carkeek Park area of the coast mainline on the Burrlington Northern in 1973. The southbound "International" from Vancouver BC to Seattle is passing the northbound "Sky Local", heading up to work the gravel mine at Grotto, near Skykomish. See if you can find the "scenery plug" that I inserted in the (totally unprototypical) tunnel that normally leads into the staging track that represents the Boeing plant at Paine Field.
