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!

1939.
Finding photos of actual trains around Grand Coulee Dam have been hard to find. Found one in the below image. Closer crop further down. Also note the car skip.
This is a great find! Piece of a trestle on there?
ReplyDeleteWhat was the grade here, looks pretty steep?
Five percent at the steepest. Not so much right here. Maybe 3.

Still, that's a struggle for that little tea kettle!
