Description
On Monday, I walked from my house down the South Tacoma Sounder station to do some railfanning. It had been a long time since I went railfanning and it felt pretty good to get back into it. I would have done some railfanning when I first moved into my new house but a homeless camp near my dad's old workplace prevented me as I had taken my safety into consideration

Since then, the camp has been cleared out and it felt good to get outside

Caught five trains that day and this is one of them

Amtrak's Coast Starlight heading south with its next stop being Olympia/Lacey. Hoped there was a GE P42 leading but instead, got a bit of treat seeing Amtrak's newest long distance locomotives, the Siemens ALC-42 Charger. They were purchased by Amtrak to help replace the aging P42s which are now at 31 years old

Pictured here is ALC-42 #309 with #320 behind her. Overall, a good day of getting back into railfanning
