The railroad brought in many premade parts to the dam site. This load of ring seal gates for the 102-inch diameter outlet works, on top of the construction trestle along the face of the dam, will be lifted off the flatcar by the crane in the background.
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
