Blair says: "Seven EMD prime movers have been idling all night in Coulee City, anxiously awaiting dawn and arrival of a rested crew to take the Coulee City Local back to Spokane with a trainload of wheat from local elevators. Now the outbound crew is just minutes away, and shortly after sunrise ex-SP&S F3A 712, an F9B and a mix of GP7s and 9's will be ready to depart with a half-dozen cars, adding at elevators on the way back to build a big train of wheat for export facilities in Kalama."
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! --Dan Bolyard
