Just before midnight on the night of July 24th an intermodal began to slowly roll under the overpass near the BNSF Midway yard. I was sitting in the shadows around 50 feet up the concrete slope listening to my scanner. Based on earlier research I knew that the train would stop with the double stacks about a thousand feet west of the overpass so I needed to be quick to grab the first 53' I could get. Hearing a dispatcher address "South Seattle" on the radio was enough to confirm that this was indeed my train. With this confirmation I shouldered my pack and ran down to the tracks. It took slightly longer to mount a 53' than I expected and I ended up exposed to the overhead lights for a brief few seconds after we emerged from the cover of the overpass. The train stopped for clearance a short while later and then continued after getting permission to proceed.
