Beverly Area View

"Dickie Dewald asked for more Milwaukee Road photos from me on here, so here's a start: Train #201-C cruises westbound along Crab Creek in the otherwise barren desert near Beverly, Washington in May, 1979. It wouldn't be long until that modern SD40-2's would be pulled back east and replaced with old junky GE's and GP40's; in 10 months, this railroad would be abandoned, failing just a bit too soon for the Staggers Act and double-stacked bridge traffic to do any good to save it."
