The sprawl of Pullman can be seen on the hills above. Stan sets one of many handbrakes on some 5,000 feet of new storage cars. BNSF wanted the 53' well cars that were on the line and gave back just-shopped 48 footers. They think this may be the last action the former Pullman-Moscow line will see for a few years. I was happy to be riding and watching this rare run.
A tribute of appreciation to the workers who maintain the track, keeping our railways in shape regardless of weather and danger, and keeping them running effeciently.
