Milwaukee 201 At Roxboro
Courtesy of Blair Kooistra.
Blair says:
"I need to get back to the Gap this fall. It's only been 40 years! But the railroad's been gone that long, so I shouldn't expect to hear a trio of orange and black SD40-2's in full Grunt mode moving train #201 past the elevators at Roxboro. I can accept that. But sometimes it's important to go pay tribute to the departed as part of your journeys."
August 29, 1978.

Rare Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern View
Laying railroad track along the north bank of the Spokane River between the present Downriver Park and the Bowl and Pitcher. This railroad was projected to be built between Spokane and Seattle. Capital failed and the railroad only reached Davenport. This stretch is today Downriver Drive, ca. 1884.

May 2017
Heading West bound into the Setting sun, an Empty EWG Scoot train led by a former MRL SD45 rolls through Rocklyn Washington on its way to Hartline and Coulee city... Longer days and better weather, I am surprised that I have not seen more railfans out photographing the old EMD power that usually draws many to the east side of the state.

BN F45 At Malaga
Courtesy of Blair Kooistra.
Blair says:
"Big, Bad-Ass BN V20's westbound at Malaga on a memorable July 8, 1978 trip with Michael Sawyer--our first one together--that culminated with me riding an open gondola through the Cascade Tunnel and Mikey driving my 1975 Monte Carlo frantically back and forth across Steven Pass trying to find me. What a Day! I don't think many friendships have gotten off to such a wild start..."
