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!

I just rode my bike thru there a few months ago. No sign now of how it looked back then. I didn't realize they had that much track there.
Great pic of the infrastructure, trackage, catenary, power line to feed it and all.
The Milw's tracks looked great back then, and I think passenger trains were carded at 60+ thru here!
It's hard to believe.
