1979 Beverly Depot

November 1979

Bill says:

"This view shows the east end of Milwaukee Road's station at Beverly, WA. Beverly is located on the east side of the Columbia River across from the Boylston Hill grade, Milwaukee's steepest mainline grade in Washington state. Trains would roll past this location only 4 more months before abandonment of the Pacific Coast extension."

Why would I include such a clipping as this? Mr. Bloom was a longtime operator at Ephrata and I have hundreds of trainorders written up by him, some of which have already been posted here.
