Empties were being returned to Othello, so I only chased it from Royal City to Othello.
Cold start at 8:30am at Royal City.
At the horseshoe curve just south of Royal City. In a minute or three, the short train will pass along the tracks in the lower part of the image.
About to cross Crab Creek.
At the siding at Taunton, looking west northwest along SR 26, with the Colockum in the distance.

Found the 608 on the fuel tracks today. It's been in the deadline for the last 3 weeks. It's headed to Western Rail at Airway Heights.

These are all taken on former Moses Lake branch of the Milwaukee Road.
Crossing a canal along the sugar spur.
Crossing road N SE at Grow.
Passing the old sign of Grow. That's Seiler in the background right, with the branch to Moses Lake proper in the foreground.

Tom says:
"The CW local has just pulled to a stop to switch an elevator. Low glint illuminates the train of covered hoppers which have by now fully taken over from 40- foot grain boxes."
Just the part from Executive Director Dan Roach. Note the last paragraph below. The last two images are the linked Northern Columbia Basin Railroad Project his message mentions.
