"Another view of the chase Chris Haaland and I made of train #201
across the west end of Milwaukee Road's "gap" in Eastern
Washington on August 29, 1978.
We started the day following #200 out of Othello and stayed with
it as far as Roxboro, then hung around for #201 to show up. Here's
the hottest of the 2 or 3 daily westbound train crossing the big
steel bridge and high earth fill over the former Northern Pacific at
Lind, Washington. A nice cut of auto racks for the Kent auto yard are
on the head end."

Wow, what a great capture!
Amazing how much freight the Milw still had late in the game, too bad the infrastructure was about done. Could of been a great railroad with the container revolution if they had more capitol to spend.
Or didn't have a bunch of nitwits in the executive suite!
Exactly....
