Heading West bound into the Setting sun, an Empty EWG Scoot train led by a former MRL SD45 rolls through Rocklyn Washington on its way to Hartline and Coulee city... Longer days and better weather, I am surprised that I have not seen more railfans out photographing the old EMD power that usually draws many to the east side of the state.

Rockin’ through the night: Its head and ditch lights search the right-of-way as cooling night quickly consumes blistering day’s loitering l’heure bleue light, a westbound EWG train hogged by Brett Engert, EWG’s newest Engineer and his colleague Steven Welch, who’s along to assist Engert in familiarizing himself with the track profile of, and train handling on the “CW,” roll by the Rocklyn “station” sign and with its lights left on, monolithic la bête noire appearing elevator.
