Western Railroad Discussion > Taking the Trash out on the UP Condon Industrial Lead

Now a Watco leased property only eleven miles in length after being trimmed back from it's destination city of Condon,Oregon.Now ending at MP 11 just past the Waste Management Yard,where containers and gons are transferred up the hill to the pit.First image is the UP train from Seattle leaving the main going through new Arlington.The second image is the same train about half way to destination trash transfer.The last shot is the power running around the train at the yard.Watco folded this operation into the Palouse and Coulee City Railroad and uses UP runthrough power.All images from 2010.Most of the trains are in the 8,000 to 11,000 ton range.
