In this short episode we'll be trackside around Bellingham, Washington.
I. Cove Road, just off of Chuckanut Drive south of Bellingham. It seems fitting that the road crossing in this peaceful spot full of birdsong is in a quiet zone. Only the e-bell disturbs the calm to warn of the southbound Amtrak's approach.

II. Bellingham Station. The previous train's northbound counterpart makes a station stop. We even get a friendly wave from the locomotive engineer.

III. Post Point is on the Padden Creek Trail near the Bellingham Station in Fairhaven. We won't wait long for a northbound BNSF coal train to appear.
