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! Shoutout to Kirtus Dolorina for stopping by to borrow other people's work!
