Ballard Terminal & Meeker Southern
Author: Fred

The info I have received here is that the Ballard runs at night and The Meeker operates tue & thurs.Since I won't be in that area until friday, can someone inform me where their engines are kept and whether or not there is an engine house?
Thanks Again,
 Fred

Meeker Southern is about a mile from my house and I hear it when ever it runs !

They keep their one and only SW about a mile or so from Meeker Junction. If you follow the tracks
you can't miss it but it is kept behind a fence & locked Gate.

Ballard Terminal keeps their engine(s) in, well Ballard, of course. Located between 45th and 46th Streets, and 11th Ave NW and 14th Ave NW. Photography is not great, and eveything is behind chain link fence.

These guys know how to keep their equipment from getting tagged. Secure it!
Now if the UP managers down in LA could just figure that out...
