Coulee City turn, is heading west at Reardan with enough Fs and a Geep for the return trip with a heavy train of loads picked up at the grain elevators where these empties will be dropped off on the way west. A Geep was always included on the rear of the consist for switching elevator the Seattle Branch out of Davenport, the former Seattle, Lake Shore & Eastern, which the NP purchased in 1890. 

Digging Out On Highway 2

Digging Out on Highway 2: A Winter Memory

Thirty-three years ago, today. I found myself in an inconvenient situation along Washington State Highway 2, positioned between Hartline and Coulee City. While attempting a U-turn that proved to be ill-advised, my truck became stuck in the deep winter conditions.

Fortunately, assistance was nearby. The section Foreman and the Plow Engineer came to my aid, working together to dig my truck out and get me back on the road.
