"Dawn just east of Reardan, Washington as Eastern Washington Railroad's scoot train climbs to Hite past a windmill that I used as a photo prop back in 1980! Amazed to see it still there, but the landowners placed a manufactured home just out of view to the left, somewhat changing the original view."

In 1977, train 201 is about to cross West Main Street rolling toward the Othello depot. The structure in the background is Othello's very own Soil and Crop Services - a family run business dating back to the early 1960s. While the Milwaukee Road had a strong presence in Othello, so did the companies that made the town what it was.
