Another classic train and operation that I missed. Thanks for sharing.

Love that modernized rider coach! I guess as late as 1970 you could ride from Hinkle to Spokane via Colfax in the caboose of the "mixed" freight, though it took something like 17 hours.

I rode from the yard in east Spokane to Wallace, Id in a caboose. Of course I ended up in the F-unit as soon as we got out of town. Bought the ticket from the ticket agent in downtown Spokane. He alerted me to the possibility!
