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!

Franklin Roosevelt's special train to visit Grand Coulee Dam, as shown at Wenatchee, with (left) Conductor Barrett and (right) Brakeman Freddie Bowen.
Interesting to find out what engine 2576 was about. I have a picture of the same engine with the engineers standing by it from a family collection.
