Tom says:
"Descending 1.0% from the Columbia Plateau down to the river, this westbound's rear-end crew has a good chance to look over their train while rounding the horseshoe at Trinidad. Next stop is Wenatchee for a crew change. I posted a photo of an eastbound here some time ago...a great location!"

My Great-Grandfather Had A Windmill Shipped By Rail

Here is the waybill from Sears, who sold windmills by David Bradley, among others. I'm sure it was just the top parts.

Here is a mid-1980s photo of the windmill, along with my grandfather. I'm pretty sure the tower was cobbled together from scrap metal. It still stands today.
