Just the part from Executive Director Dan Roach. Note the last paragraph below. The last two images are the linked Northern Columbia Basin Railroad Project his message mentions.
From the Q1 2005 newsletter, Mr Roach had said:
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! Shoutout to Kirtus Dolorina for stopping by to borrow other people's work!

"The Columbia Basin SW1200 roster at Warden, WA on April 19, 2002. CBRW 212, 201 and partially hidden 203. I took this during the noonday sun which was harsh plus and a bit into the sun as I couldn't get another angle on this subject.
All 3 units are former MOPAC SW1200's. MP 1273, 1257 & 1148. The same day I followed the Wheeler which had CBRW 1626 and 2087. The CBRW 2087 was one of 2 GP38's that the CBRW rostered."

Burlington Northern train No. 4 rolls east into Quincy, Washington. Quincy lies atop a part of the Columbia River Basalt Group which is overlaid by Pleistocene outburst flood deposits. How's that for geology geekery? Doug would likely approve.
