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 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.
ReplyDeleteGreat pic of the infrastructure, trackage, catenary, power line to feed it and all.
ReplyDeleteThe Milw's tracks looked great back then, and I think passenger trains were carded at 60+ thru here!
It's hard to believe.
