The morning commute begins well before dawn on this chilly March morning in Puyallup, Washington. The atmosphere is crisp and calm as people of various vocations wait at the platform to board a Sounder train to their workplaces in Seattle.
In this episode, Half Range Vision documents the freight and commuter trains of the 5 am hour. A future episode will continue with the 6 am hour after first light breaks across the sky and the trains keep coming.
Thank you to all the railroaders who report for duty at every hour of the day and night to make these operations possible.

For this video I used a Fujifilm X-T4 camera with the wonderful, if heavy, XF 16-55mm f2.8 lens. Footage was shot in 4K F-Log at 29.97 fps. Sound was recorded in-camera with a Movo VXR10 microphone.
