Steam Engine & Vintage Train Cars Arrive In Spokane

For you train enthusiasts out there, this doesn't give you much time to get down here, but a restored steam locomotive and train of vintage rail cars just arrived in Spokane at the Intermodal Center on west First Avenue (the same building that SRTC calls home).

These pictures were taken from our deck on the third floor as the train came to a stop below us.
It felt kind of like we were having a weak earthquake because the whole building moved as the train came through.
I'm not sure if that was due to the steam locomotive but I can tell you that most of the trains that come through here don't shake the whole building! Here's more info from the Spokesman-Review.
