"This view shows the west end of Milwaukee Road's station at Beverly, WA. The main track and siding are still lined with unused catenary poles, although the wire has been removed and sold as scrap. Electrics ceased operating in 1972. Diesels will continue to ply these rails until mid-March 1980."

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.
