1976 Spokane Area Train Briefs

Courtesy of Rob Leachman via Groups.io.

As promised, here is a run-down of local freight train assignments
in the Spokane area circa 1976. This completes my posts concerning
BN operations in the Spokane area. Hope this is of interest.



Spokane Area Local Freight Trains (as published Feb 1976, "last
revised 10/14/75")

Local Number    Route Description        On Duty    Frequency

474        Cheney-Scribner-Marshall-Babb    0900    Ex TuF
625        Kettle Falls – Hillyard        0700    TuF
626        Hillyard – Kettle Falls        0830    MTh
671        Yardley – Coulee City        0930    MWF
672        Coulee City – Yardley        0700    TuThSa

846        Cheney-Marshall-Scribner-
            Davenport-Eleanor    1100    Tu

Notes: Trains 831-832 were essentially through road trains not doing
local work. These were long trains powered by multi-unit lash-ups of
four-axle units. Trains 671-672 also were powered by multi-unit lash-
ups of four-axle units (typically F units or mixed F units and
Geeps), although they did all the switching work at the elevators
along the CW. When the grain was moving, these also were long
trains. I believe the other locals were ordinarily powered by one or
two Geeps.
