Ellensburg WA added to Home Video/ along with other cities
Posted by bnsfkline on Monday, October 3, 2005 1:08 PM
Due to the passing of my eldest Uncle in Ellensburg Washington (Gregory Trujillo, Assistant Dean to the Studant Body, Central Washington University [Retired, 1-99]), I was able to add 3 new states to my Home Video Collection. I was able to add UP in Idaho and Oregon and BNSF in Washington.

For those of you who do not know. Ellensburg is at Milepost 127.0 of the BNSF Yakima Sub. There is a defect Detector at milepost 124.2. Ellensbug is also the crew change point between the Yakima Sub and the Stampede Sub. This line negotiates Stampede pass.

I got only 5 trains on video, and two Locomotive Models. 3 GP38-2's and 9 C44-9W's.

We went the long way to washington Via Albaqurqie. I got 4 UP trains on the Golden State Route.

I don't know what railroad it was, but I got some video of 2 Green/Cream 2nd GP's in Boise. I have listed the road as "Unknown"

I spotted a Grand Trunk Western GP7/9 East of Boise, butted didn't get it on video.
