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?

I never realized there was so much trackage there at the Douglas Elevator. It's hard to tell now with all the sagebrush grown up. Still makes me sad every time I cross the old Mansfield grade that old Gov Dixie thought it would be better to haul wheat out by truck vs rail. You don't suppose the trucker lobbyist padded anyone's pocket do you?!

The branch was nearly saved. A proposed port district was defeated by local voters by like 3 votes. It almost was saved!
