1948 Dry Coulee Siphon
Photo shows the Dry Coulee Siphon and related canal being constructed by the Winston Brother and Utah Construction. At this point the canal crosses the Northern Pacific branch about 2 miles north of Adrian and a mile north of Adco. A construction spur was placed here that was noted on NP timetables at the time as Winston-Utah.
These photos are part of the collection with the watermark, but very improperly labelled in their collection.

1937 Grand Coulee Train Wreck
Courtesy of EWU; Hu Blonk papers.
Report said a locomotive actually went over the cliff, but I can't find the report at this time.
Date is supposedly January 1937.

1895 GN Bridge At Rock Island
Courtesy of the Wenatchee Valley Museum & Cultural Center.
Looking up river at the Great Northern Railway bridge across Columbia River at Rock Island circa 1895. Completed in 1893, the site was chosen at Rock Island for being the shortest distance between the banks of the Columbia River. In 1925, it was decided to strengthen the main span in anticipation of increased traffic and heavier trains by reinforcing the structure with an additional outside truss frame.

October or November, 1898. Here the Columbia River Wenatchee Landing is shown with the Steamers "Selkirk", "Thomas L.
