The new Amtrak Cascades train in colors of evergreen, mocha, and cream, glides around a curve north of Seattle with Puget Sound on both sides of the railroad track, evening sky shows in the upper left of the image. Evergreen tree branches frame the train from the foreground and evergreen trees provide a dark green background. The scene is dusk and the train lights are on.

The new Amtrak Cascades was out for signal compatibility testing today and Walter Baird, @AviationSeattle on Insta, was in the right place at the right time. He shared pictures so I can share with you. Thank you Walter!
