Bill says:
"This view shows the east end of Milwaukee Road's station at Beverly, WA. Beverly is located on the east side of the Columbia River across from the Boylston Hill grade, Milwaukee's steepest mainline grade in Washington state. Trains would roll past this location only 4 more months before abandonment of the Pacific Coast extension."

Note on John Lee here for a moment. Some of you might recall the photo I posted some years ago of the first train being christened at Odair before rolling out to Grand Coulee Dam. Miss Mary Cole was the one doing the honors. She went on to marry John Lee. These photos are courtesy of their son, David.
I mentioned yesterday I'd speak more about Fred Frick. I really don't know much more about him, but he was campaigning hard during Dwight Eisenhower's presidential train visit to Ephrata during the summer of 1952. All I can say further at this time is Mr. Frick did not win the seat he was running for.
