Burlington Northern train No. 4 rolls east into Quincy, Washington. Quincy lies atop a part of the Columbia River Basalt Group which is overlaid by Pleistocene outburst flood deposits. How's that for geology geekery? Doug would likely approve.

    Look at all that container traffic, COFC the Milwaukee Road had at one time, and lost. They're direct link to the Port of Tacoma and Seattle would've been a big money maker if they'd had made better decisions from management.
