"Emergency, Emergency, Emergency" Amtrak Cascades 513

Just south of Everett, Washington is the small town of Mukilteo. There’s a commuter station for the Sounder, but Amtrak doesn’t stop there. It’s also a quiet uncrowded place to video trains, especially on the weekend. This morning I stopped there, hoping to catch some freight activity, but the Amtrak Cascades 513 was running 45 minutes late so I knew I could catch that also. I noted on the Amtrak App that it had departed Everett so I knew it would arrive shortly. Instead of an arriving train, I heard “Emergency, Emergency, Emergency” on the scanner.
Fortunately this was a close call, but it delayed an already late train. Following the Cascades was BNSF 6664 pulling a short intermodal train down to the docks in Seattle.
Thanks for watching!
