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!
I have a friend who lived across the river from Apple Yard and she said that a railroad tie or timber, landed in her yard from the blast. I honestly never believed her! After reading this, I think maybe I do now!
