I noticed this vantage point a couple weeks ago
enroute to getting my Jetta emmision tested. There
was a huge lumber mill in the way but now the lumber
mill is history. Need a few more trys as there are a lot
of overhead wires that I might be able to re-position
myself to avoid. 1st Street Marysville is the first possible
because south of 1st Street is Ebey Slough so this is
the southern most point of Marysville city limits.
I can tell you its a long wait if you are stuck in traffic
when a coal train comes through town. Traffic backups
like you cant believe in Marysville after a train comes
through town. The northbound coal/oil/other trains
have to go 10mph crossing bridge 37 Everett so I was
listening to my scanner when Br 37 said to this coal
train "you are off the bridge"..shit the head end was
looking at Marysville already. It's 25 mph over 4th Street
Marysville so this train was on the gas to get to 25mph
and then its balls to wall after you cross 4th Street to
maybe 50mph by the time you exit Marysville.
If you are in a horror movie, you make bad decisions, its what you do.
