From the Wenatchee "World."
October 18, 1910
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

Milwaukee Sugar Beet Hopper At Othello

Dave says:
"I took several slides in Othello at the same time as the depot picture I just posted. Here is one, lettered for sugar beets, but with mechanical issues. Looks like it has been around the block too many times."

Milwaukee 265 At Othello

Dave says:
"GP38-2, here sitting in front of the round house in Othello. I just converted this from an old color negative, a learning experience on how to do it. Date unknown. MILW 365."

Ron Brandt added: The
fuel tender to the left was filled with #2 diesel fuel. It came full
from Tacoma and unloaded into the two tall storage tanks.
Ryan Reed added: I'd expect this to be taken in
late '74 or '75. During that short time, the three "new" GP38-2's out
here (361, 362, 365) were spread out. One assigned to Tacoma area, one
to Othello, and one to St. Maries. By 1976, all three were assigned to
the Elk River Branch out of St. Maries, only coming back to Tacoma for
maintenance.
