Amtrak's "Empire Builder" between Chicago and Seattle/Portland passes this camera twice daily, once per direction, the westbound train #7 in the morning and the eastbound train #8 in the evening. This is the Seattle section of the "Builder"; the Portland section (trains #27 and #28) is removed/added at Spokane, WA. The "Empire Builder" is named after James J. Hill, the founder of the GN.

The engine on display across the tracks from the camera is former Great Northern (GN) SD9 #599, built by EMD in May 1958, and was 1 of 2 GN SD9's equipped with dynamic brakes. Later renumbered to BN #6126, to BNSF #6126, to #1731, and then donated to Skykomish.

When’s the next train? Yeah, we get this a lot. You can figure out the next Amtrak passenger train with this handy link: https://www.amtrak.com/track-your-train.html

There’s no schedule for freight trains, but some of our more knowledgeable members will provide real-time information when it’s available. Please refrain from asking.
