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!

It's always a sad day when it's the last passenger train, or the last F unit, or when the tracks are torn up, no longer to be used. I love to walk old railroad grades and imagine what it was like back then, and how they constructed it, but there's always a certain sadness that they are no longer in use.

And you really can't walk this grade at all anymore.
