Here is an old photo of the early days on Lines West. This is the very first winter on Snoqualmie Pass, 1980-1909, at Laconia, Washington. I was given this view years ago by an old timer employee. It's a favorite. Further description of the setting and area are in the caption at my Rail Images album: http://www.railimages.com/gallery/kensecrest Boxcab E50
Ken, does that bring back memories of upstate NY in winter. They have had a tough one back there this year. Got pix from my sister who lives about 20 miles north of Syracuse-nearby communities have had 181 inches of snow this winter, and it ain't over.
Would you believe I worked in a station that small? At a place called Black Butte. No post office, just railroad.
Great looking photo, love everything about it!! By the way, thats me standing bottom center, didn't know anyone was taking my picture!

I can see why this would be a favorite of yours. It has a dramatic and loaded with action. It would be a favorite of mine, too.
