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!

"These blueprints are from Great Northern Railway’s Engineer/Right-of-way Drawings. These were the original drawings submitted by GNRY to Douglas County and Certified by the State of Washington for start of construction. The following sample prints show all the locations of the bridge trestles within these documents. The date on these documents is 1908, but ROW acquisition began as early as 1906. These Documents have been residing in the courthouse vault for the last 100 years."
