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!
Shoutout to Kirtus Dolorina for stopping by to borrow other people's work!
Dang, nice picture here-beautiful sky with puffy clouds, halfway clean lookin' SD40-2's, and those Ribsiders behind! Looks to be late 70's, catenary is gone, just the poles and supports. If I recall, I heard they had the wires up AND energized for awhile after to discourage thieves from snagging the copper!
