Power is usually in Royal City. Two SD45s - CCET 318 and LRY 331.  Traffic sparce, running once or twice a week - right now milling company is doing a little wheat and a couple other companies getting liquid fertilizer in.

Thanks for that info. So the locos are not lettered for them, are the engines accessable or in an engine house ?
Can you tell me anything about the Yakima Central ?
Appreciate any help, coming from Detroit limits my time in the area so I want to make the most of it.

Believe they are photographable.  Both in MRL blue I think.  Yakima has an ex NS GP38 I think - I’d have to get my roster out and look. They are busier than Royal City.  Seem to run 2 or 3 times a week.  See www.columbiarail.com

Yakima Central power is at the mil, who knows what it is these days, they run mid-late mornings and
usually three times a week, easy to chase, neat orchards etc when things are green.

Out

Chasable, sounds good. I "assume" the mill is in White Swan which would make sense.
Thanks again,
Fred

Yes - Yakima Forest Products. Outbound Lumber plus an inbound LPG transload. Line also handles lots of tallow, some DEF, and feed products.
