My Grandfather Shipped Veal To Pike Place Market

 I have a lot of receipts from Chet Hansen, but only this one REA receipt.

Schrag Grain Train

Photographer unknown.

No date, but a few years ago for sure. 

Coming down the hill into Connell.

All the cars seen in the photo reached 50 years of service and were not allowed to be used in interchange service. Those cars were reclaimed from CBRW lines and split up between other state PCC lines.

Lauren says:
"Columbia Basin, CBRW 12 switching out the industries at Bruce, WA on August 7, 2025. This was a roster shot taken at one of the crossings at Bruce.

"CBRW 12 is a rebuilt SD9 that was built as Colorado & Southern 832 in April of 1959. It went through 2 mergers with Burlington Northern as the BN 6227 and BNSF 1735. It was retired by BNSF and went to the TCYR 25 before being purchased by the Columbia Basin."
