Behold the MVT empire         
Mt Vernon Terminal RR operates a very small section of track left from an Interurban operation that used to run north to Bellingham. This is its self-described 'roundhouse' located under Interstate 5 in its namesake town. Ex-Navy Baldwin V01000 505 was the normal power at this time and the Plymouth was a backup. The engine shed has since been replaced with another structure at the same location that holds the road's current power, an EMD SW9.

Switchman Images General What became of the Baldwin, was it scrapped? Any photos of the SW9? Is this operation still running, or abandoned today? 12/6/2008 3:53:28 AM
