March 1892

"Another terrific Northern Pacific scene, with Baldwin 4-4-0 No. 37 and train at Coulee City, Washington in March 1892. Snow could still be expected in that month, hence the wedge plow pilot still affixed in place. Her engineer was listed by the photographer as F. J. McClung. The photographer's rolling studio car was at the end of the train.


"NP's then-new division engine terminal made a fine background, the coaling dock at left and 6-stall stonework roundhouse at right."

Blair says:

"Morning shadows are long across the freshly-cut wheat at Washington Eastern’s “Scoot" grain shuttle pauses to add a third locomotive to get it across the undulating wheatfields of the land west of Spokane at the elevator siding of Hite."

Blair says:

"Sunrise with the CW Local. Climbing the hill into Hanson Washington, having left Almira a little before with a fresh relief crew on out of Spokane.

"No place can one feel so alive than standing with your feet in the soil amid wheat fields the wind gently blowing, the sun making its first efforts to warm the day's air. It'll be a hot one by afternoon."
