Western Railroad Discussion > A Friendly Wave

PCC GP35 #3651 heading south toward Pullman passing over Viola Rd at Fallon, WA. Not often you see a width clearance sign instead of a height clearance. In the distance a friendly neighbor is waving to the train crew. April 3rd, 2004. #3651 was built in 1964 for the Reading RR later going to Penn Central and Conrail before coming to work for Watco. It kept that number #3651 from when it was built until it became WAMX 3523 in 2011.

Road width is a thing in farm country. The heads on combines can be pretty wide, fortunately they're easily attached and removed.

Great shot, and a neat moment captured.

Is that part of a combine on that flat car?
