The West Plains PDA is laying down framework to attract large aerospace and manufacturing companies to the area. Spokane International Airport received a $2 million grant to a build a mile of rail from the Geiger Spur to the airport, which makes plans for a proposed transload facility closer to reality.

Marengo Views
Photographer unknown. Date unknown.
Rob Leachman commented:
"Here you can see 200 at left on the Milw Rd and 205 at right down on the UP. I am sure the UP Asst. Supt. in Spokane would have been none too happy at this practice. The day I allowed it the Milw 205 train went past Marengo yard limits getting out of 200's way (there was a carload of Olympia beer 200 had to dig out of the UP interchange, so 200 had to get completely past the interchange key) and it threw the UP block signals to red all the way down to Ankeny. The UP section gang called the signal maintainer to investigate. I thought I would get fired, but fortunately 205 backed up before the maintainer got on the scene."
