This site features daily historical railroad posts from the Big Bend/Columbia Plateau region of Washington state. As a personal site, this is my online filing cabinet of interesting things I've come across about railroading in the area. Thanks for stopping by! --Dan Bolyard

While chasing trains along the former Great Northern in Washington State, we encountered a big surprise. BN GP38-2 No. 2099 was BNSF's first repainted standard cab locomotive.
2099 was touring the railroad in glorious GN inspired livery, wearing Pullman Green and Omaha Orange paint. The running gear was painted silver, to match new 900 series GE C44-9W deliveries.
We caught him on train No. 639, passing through Naylor, Washington on Sept. 13, 1996.

It’s December 2, 2007, and not-yet-relettered NIWX SD45 8924 and leased MRL SD40-2 260 head west with empty grain cars near MP54 on the “CW Sub,” formerly operated by Eastern Washington Gateway RR, between Rocklyn and Creston, WA.
