1892 Coulee City View

March 1892


"Another terrific Northern Pacific scene, with Baldwin 4-4-0 No. 37 and train at Coulee City, Washington in March 1892. Snow could still be expected in that month, hence the wedge plow pilot still affixed in place. Her engineer was listed by the photographer as F. J. McClung. The photographer's rolling studio car was at the end of the train.


"NP's then-new division engine terminal made a fine background, the coaling dock at left and 6-stall stonework roundhouse at right."
