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. Thanks for stopping by!

Being at my roots, an NP fan, I love the nod to the "ex-NP" locomotive! I drive by here everyday on my way to work and it always makes for a great day to catch a train here. Great spot to do my favorite hobby!!
Wow, beauty of a shot!
ReplyDeleteLet's go back in time and see SD45s for ourselves.

ReplyDeleteBeing that the BBRH Home Office is deep in the heart of NP territory, I always appreciate anything NP. But this spot is super nice too.
