September 13, 1988
A grain train is departing town on the old
NP CW line. They used four units (BN 2092, EMDX 770, 762, BN 2526) to
pull loads out and met up with a fifth locomotive, GP35 2532 just
east of town at Cement before heading for Cheney and Spokane.
Four units pull grain loads out of
Coulee City. They're working hard as they fight
the grade out of town.
BN 2092 climbs out of Coulee City WA on
13 Sep 1988 with three other units.
BN 2092 and its mates have climbed with
their grain loads out of Coulee City and enter Cement, where they
will join up with a GP35 before continuing east
BN GP35 2532 had been working cars at
Odair, a short spur just east of town, and was waiting at Cement for
the train out of Coulee City. Having retrieved the stray unit, they
head out in an easterly direction. (This picture is actually from down the line at Hartline.)
BN caboose 10559 brings up the markers
as its train departs Cement for Cheney and Spokane.
The train having departed east, quiet
returns to the elevator complex at Coulee City.
