Passenger Trains > Project 430 — Ready For HarvestDate: 07/07/25 11:15 Project 430 — Ready For Harvest Author: walstib There's plenty of capacity for this year's wheat harvest at Ritzville's Templin Terminal, where I caught a tardy number 27 rolling by at 6:43 a.m. last Thursday.
The train was running about 1:43 down, and clearly missed the window for sunrise light. Project 430 — which refers to the time I set my alarm to in the morning to get out trackside in time — is my ongoing summer solstice project to capture number 27 around Ritzville at sunrise. The project began in May, and will continue until sometime in July.  Date: 07/08/25 06:13 Re: Project 430 — Ready For Harvest Author: texchief1 Nice image! I wonder if they taro the wheat piles later?

A brief rain will make a crust on top of the piles to seal that pile in a sense. If Templins does like Highline Grain growers, they will have a blower that blows air inside the pile when it is tarped. SP8100 |
