Remarks & Notes 
Extra 131 east rolls by a westbound extra at Beverly, WA on August 27, 1978. About a year and a half before Milwaukee's transcontinental demise, the railroad was fairly busy with about 6 trains a day traversing its mainline in Washington. Note track conditions immediately in front of no. 131. Five rail joints have been added to the 39 ft. length of rail to keep the track useable. Milwaukee at this point was in no position to replace old rail with new.
