Trinidad Loop

Tom says:
"Descending 1.0% from the Columbia Plateau down to the river, this westbound's rear-end crew has a good chance to look over their train while rounding the horseshoe at Trinidad. Next stop is Wenatchee for a crew change. I posted a photo of an eastbound here some time ago...a great location!"

My Great-Grandfather Had A Windmill Shipped By Rail

Here is the waybill from Sears, who sold windmills by David Bradley, among others. I'm sure it was just the top parts.

Here is a mid-1980s photo of the windmill, along with my grandfather. I'm pretty sure the tower was cobbled together from scrap metal. It still stands today.

My Grandfather Shipped Cream To Tacoma

And other locations too, including Spokane and Wenatchee.

I have most all of the receipts from over the years, plus the cream cans. Also have the cream separator too, though it's in poor shape.
