Milwaukee 201 At Lind

Courtesy of Blair Kooistra.

Blair says:

"Another view of the chase Chris Haaland and I made of train #201 across the west end of Milwaukee Road's "gap" in Eastern Washington on August 29, 1978.
We started the day following #200 out of Othello and stayed with it as far as Roxboro, then hung around for #201 to show up. Here's the hottest of the 2 or 3 daily westbound train crossing the big steel bridge and high earth fill over the former Northern Pacific at Lind, Washington. A nice cut of auto racks for the Kent auto yard are on the head end."
