In one of those uncanny things where this website is on top of the news, here is a document from the Surface Transportation Board dated 7-14-25. It's over 60 pages, so here are just the first 4.

Photo is of the Big Eddy Fill on the new Rock Island-Trinidad Highway. A 90-foot fill was reported to enable the Great Northern Railway to remove its tracks out to the Columbia River and permit the highway to occupy the space where the tracks run. It was reported that there would be enough space for a double track and a 30-foot-wide highway.

March 1892

"Another terrific Northern Pacific scene, with Baldwin 4-4-0 No. 37 and train at Coulee City, Washington in March 1892. Snow could still be expected in that month, hence the wedge plow pilot still affixed in place. Her engineer was listed by the photographer as F. J. McClung. The photographer's rolling studio car was at the end of the train.
