Track is still there, but the train rarely ventures into downtown Redmond anymore, as the last customer is a building materials yard a few miles north who get a car a month or so. There's a big hole where the elevator used to be, as I believe they're still in the process of cleaning up the site. -RAS  Date: 10/21/05 13:42 Re: BN GP-9 in 1986...Where??? Author: M-420 Yes indeed...it's Redmond. Of course at the time of this photo, the local ran all the way out to Issaquah along Lake Samamish.
As noted, the elevator's gone and trains almost never venture into Redmond now, unless they need to use the siding for a run-around move. Brian E Date: 10/21/05 14:56 Re: BN GP-9 in 1986...Where??? Author: RAS Good stuff, Brian.
Have any other "vintage" images from along the line to Issaquah, or rest of the Woodinville Sub? Would love to see it! -RAS |
