Heading West bound into the Setting sun, an Empty EWG Scoot train led by a former MRL SD45 rolls through Rocklyn Washington on its way to Hartline and Coulee city... Longer days and better weather, I am surprised that I have not seen more railfans out photographing the old EMD power that usually draws many to the east side of the state.

BN F45 At Malaga

Blair says:

"Big, Bad-Ass BN V20's westbound at Malaga on a memorable July 8, 1978 trip with Michael Sawyer--our first one together--that culminated with me riding an open gondola through the Cascade Tunnel and Mikey driving my 1975 Monte Carlo frantically back and forth across Steven Pass trying to find me. What a Day! I don't think many friendships have gotten off to such a wild start..."
