Very old barn |
Description: |
The octagonal barn seen in the background dates back to the 1890s, and actually was built before the railroad was! Its great to see that the curent owners tank such great care of it. |

Foamer squared... |
Description: |
Is what one W&I crew member called me! I couldnt possibility know why... All joaking aside though, one of the main reasons I collect horns is to preserve a piece of railroad history that is fast disappearing. Once a very common horn on this line, the Leslie S3K was once the standard horn of the Burlington Northern, but in this day and age of FRA horn regulations has been relegated to only being heard on the vehicle of one collector. At least the WIR #20 has a decent sounding Nathan P5, instead of the all too common Nathan K series horns now heard everywhere on UP and BNSF. |

Ex UP main |
Description: |
This unassuming piece of track used to be the Hinkle OR Spokane WA UP mainline. That was before Joso bridge was built. After Joso, this line became a branchline, eventually being torn out in hte late 80s, with segments in towns (such as this piece here) renaming as industrial spurs. |
