I assume ex-Milwaukee trackage, eastern Washington maybe?

Oh, well, I was half right about the Milwaukee part.

My Google Map came up in with Japanese translations of the town names.
What's up?

Yes, I am in Japan. Click the hamburger and select the language for maps. Oh wait, that may be in Japanese too!

I have no idea how Railpax71 came up with the correct location.

On Tacoma Rail they call this station (Fredrickson) as Allred Junction ! LOL

I thought this was remote enough to be a little difficult!

Yes, it is an obscure location, but as a teenage resident 50 years ago I drove around everywhere and seeing the Milwaukee switchstand and the Prarie with douglas fir narrowed it down to a batch of photos I shot. Streetview did the rest since it is still an active line.
