I'll look for it rolling thru Ritzville, WA. in the rain.

Curious as to the routing. Running the water level river route, rather than going
Stevens Pass and the Cascade tunnel. Does any westbound even run over Stampede?

Pretty much only the occasional worktrain.

It rolled thru Ritzville at 1219pm with friendly toot-toots by the house from the hogger in the rain. Thanks SP8100!

The young Hogger is a former TO, yet still a railfan. He pointed out the call sheet to me and informed me of its significance.

as info, this train ran all the way up the Orin Sub, from Orin jct to Donkey Creek. kinda rare....
