This site features daily historical railroad posts from the Big Bend/Columbia Plateau region of Washington state. As a personal site, this is my online filing cabinet of interesting things I've come across about railroading in the area. I know it's easy to grab an image from here and post it elsewhere, like Steve Renfrow does, but if you do, could you at least give this site a little credit? Dan Bolyard

CWGG Hartline
This information comes from a 1970s Central Washington Grain Growers brochure, showing off their grain facilities.
Hartline
Hartline became a part of CWGG in 1961 when Almira Grain Growers purchased the General Mills elevator and added the Farmer’s Union Grain in 1962.
Hartline is now Central Washington Grain Growers, Inc.’s second largest receiving station, at times receiving far in excess of the storage capacity. In 1975, the old mill on the east was removed and replaced with modern receiving and shipping equipment.
Extra large crops or unforeseen carryovers of previous years have caused wheat to be piled outside. Hartline is probably more suitable than any other location to handle that emergency.
