These images are from an industrial/office park area south of Seattle. Here is a description from the TrailLink (Rails to Trails Conservancy) website: The Interurban Trail (South) connects several towns south of Seattle along the historic route of the Puget Sound Electric Railway. The trolley ran between Tacoma and Seattle from 1902 to 1928, falling victim to the growing popularity of cars and trucks and the construction of State Route 99. The 19.1-mile trail runs nearly straight and flat for 15.8 miles from its beginning in the north near Fort Dent Park, and connects the towns of Tukwila, Kent, Auburn, Algona, and Pacific, making it popular with commuting bicyclists.
The rail line on the east side of the trail is an active freight line, but my timing was off and I didn't capture an actual train (sorry, Montfrooij, maybe next time).


Enjoy.

Great shots!   Easy to see why it would be popular with bicyclists.

Nice shots. I do see some in the second shot. That would have been a nice location to capture (judging from a distance)

The timing may improve, I will have to visit the site at least a few more times over the next month or 2.
