BNSF 9218

This type of locomotive has always fascinated me. The white face, the unique cab design, and (noticing today) the strong exhaust note. This thing is a brute.

A much better picture of this EMD SD60M appears HERE. For good reason, the cab windows gave rise to its nickname of "Triclops." You will see SD60s with many styles of cabs; this one has what's called the "North American Safety Cab," which started use in Canada.

This picture was taken just north of Qwest Field, as the train enters King Street Station heading north towards the tunnel.
