Riverland Today

Riverland was once a thriving railroad yard located where the Milwaukee Road Hanford Branch interchanged with the Government Railroad to Hanford. See the period photos here.

Thanks for posting this. I didn't know that Riverland existed. I remember crossing the tracks there on Highway 24 in 1961, or so, and then continuing on to the Vernita Ferry and crossing the Columbia River. By then, much of Riverland must have been demolished. Also, on google maps, one can clearly see where the Vernita ferry used to run.
