Not quite on 'Main Street of the Northwest'
Author: valmont

By this time Wilbur, WA was on the BN, not the NP ... took this shot in July 1970. GP9 #1945 was still looking like an NP loco, but the # was BN, and most likely the small white BN was also on the side of the cab.

Railroading today just can't bring the feel to it like this image does. Love it!

BN #1945 was previously known as Northern Pacific #366.

What's not to like about those steam engine bells on the NP geeps?
