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

Almira Wye
This photo, from a 1904 profile of the CW branch, shows the location of railroad owned land just beyond milepost 88. I'm surmising that when Almira was the end of track in 1889, steam locomotives were turned here. When the tracks were extended to Coulee City, there was no longer any need for the wye and it was removed.
