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!

Those bay window caboose were cool. I don't recall GN or NP using those. Do you?
ReplyDeleteNP had a small fleet of wooden ones, GN had but a few.
ReplyDeleteMilw built they're own "Ribsides" by the 100's, along with them 40' boxcars, resourceful!
ReplyDeleteThis is a great shot, btw!
