275 Days until the US Open at Chambers Bay

I have been walking Chambers Creek Properties for years. I have been carrying a camera since 2009. With the US Open coming to the Chambers Bay Golf Course, which is part of the property, I have decided to share a picture each day for the 365 days leading up to the tournament. The US Open is scheduled to begin on June 18, 2015. As of today, we are 275 days away.

Today's Picture:

Taken on September 16, 2012

The railroad tracks next to the golf course have gotten quite a bit of attention. Everybody knows that trains run past the course, and there are plans to use trains to bring golf fans to the Open from Seattle. I have already shared a couple pictures of the Amtrak Cascades. I feel that I should have at least one picture during this countdown featuring the company that actually controls these tracks, BNSF. This shot has a BNSF train leading (is that a CSX engine following?) taken from one of the more popular train watching areas, the Bridge to the Beach. The Lone Fir and the Tacoma Narrows Bridge can be seen in the background.
