Lauren says:
"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.

A quartet of Burlington Northern locomotives pull eastbound merchandise through Rock Island, Washington. The loads of new automobiles are on the south bank of the Columbia River.

Rock Island, with a population today of 1,964 people, is 10 miles east of the BN crew change point in Wenatchee.
