Remarks & Notes 
The walk out to this location wasn't THAT bad--drive the farm road to the UP Washy at Ankeny, then down a farmer's field under the big trestle. . .then along the rocks and up onto the bluff overlooking the former SP&S flyover across the Union Pacific. Then you waited. Eventually, train #001 showed up with a GP39-2 leading two SD40-2s in the last weeks of operation on the former SP&S Pasco-Spokane mainline.

Do you ever get the feeling as a model railroader, that you just might be creating something not "prototypical?" Same here.

Pictures of things often unseen in the world of railroading. Interesting equipment, operations, and people that help the railroad go around.
