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. Thanks for stopping by!

1895 CW Branch Wreck
In August of 1895, a stock train jumped the track at Almira. One L.A. Pritz was killed instantly. Eleven cars and 250 head of cattle piled up in a space of 25 by 90 feet. The cattle were being shipped to Chicago.
