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!

"The CW local has just pulled to a stop to switch an elevator. Low glint illuminates the train of covered hoppers which have by now fully taken over from 40- foot grain boxes."
The grain "earthworm" has taken over. Miss the old 40' grain boxcars.
