    Anyone have a list which is known to be complete? All those I can find seem to miss a few. For example, what destination is "LPC"?

    Greg-

    As you are in the vicinity, perhaps you can answer this-

    I don't understand the listing of BVU as Wilburton. There's nothing at Wilburton and it has not truly been a separate community since I was a youth. Wasn't the little Wilburton siding was gone decades ago? In fact, I don't believe there is even any track these days with the I-405 work?

    Confusing to me!

    Probably stands for Bellevue. The track no longer goes under the highway. The line is separated at 405. The north half was sold to a short line. The south half up to Scopa was kept by BNSF so they can still serve Boeing's Renton plant.

    Hmmm. Looking at that list, they show BEL as Bellevue? And Belen, NM. Kinda strange.

    I can't wait for the day when someone remembers a need for rail commuter service along the east side of Lake WA and wishes that line had not been severed.

    That's a cool web page. It's neat to see places as they were years ago, some of them were easily recognizable.

    My Engine class had a group of guys from Belen. Never even heard of it before that, but I do believe its symbol is BEL.

    I found another page with a list which seemed better. Bookmarked it and now I cannot find the bookmark! (Grumble, grumble!)

    Anyhow, that list still did not show LPC, however it did show BEL as Belen. BVU/Wilbuton and BEL/Bellevue were not on it. I am thinking the list I saw last week was assembled as a mingling of old and newer information.
