A Little Bit of Central WA

Central WA is making a come back here in Louisiana - 1978 style. The final years of the Milwaukee Road in the west, right here in Ruston. A few photos of the train layout progress.

The Milwaukee Road's history is particularly interesting. It was the final transcontinental railroad built in the United States - and the only one to have been abandoned. The photo of Jenni and I that adorns this blog was taken in the shadows the old Milwaukee bridge at Rosalia, WA. Just one of many reminders of the old line's presence in the West.

Check in with the Lost Rail blog for more thoughts on "America's Resourceful Railroad."
