    Can someone tell me the time table running direction of the BNSF trackage between Vancouver WA and Tacoma WA? Is it North/South or East/West?

    Thanks,
    David

    Geographic direction is N/S but Timetable direction could very well be E/W.
    I am checking that out right now!

    Thanks for the information. I wonder why it is east toward Seattle. I would have thought that it would be west. :confused:

    Now I have to go and change my block and signal names from N/S to E/W. [​IMG]

    Thanks again.

    You're welcome David.
    Dunno why that is, it could be a peculiarity of that particular subdivision, my buddy(he is still
    a working conductor)said that "north being east to Seattle".
    The main thing is that the timetable directions are E/W
