BN 2213 At Ephrata

Guest post by Ryan Reed.

On May 15, 1988, BN 2213 West wakes up Ephrata, Wash. with nearly quarter-century Great Northern heritage up front. The ex-GN main in eastern Washington was never on my to-do list, but a recent magazine article on the line got my buddy Carl Sonner jacked up to see it, so off we went for a two-day trip on May 14th, and 15th - to a territory off our beaten path. On this trip we photographed Trinidad Loop for the first time and was thoroughly impressed despite waiting so long for a train that Carl actually fell asleep on the hillside. We chased this train all the way across the line and with that ex-GN GP30 on the point trailed by a bunch of GP9s, we were lovin' it. It's funny, I never made big efforts to see the ex-GN, but ended up shooting all of it from Spokane to about Index on multiple two or three day trips. It just kind of happened.
