Western Railroad Discussion > Grain in the (Willamette) ValleyDate: 03/31/13 11:31 Grain in the (Willamette) Valley Author: roustabout A loaded grainer was southbound through Shedd today. Power on the other end was UP 8201 and CP 9514.

Note: Eastport, Idaho, on the Canadian border, is where Union Pacific interchanges a lot of freight, especially grain, to Canadian Pacific.
