<p>While I couldn't find bcrailex's original introductory message in this thread(downloads seem to come in different order than on screen), I did note in that message as quoted by JOdom back in 2002, that hybrid locos were expected to begin switching Railex plants this year. While passing thru Walla Walla last week, I noticed a yellow RC unit at the Blue Mountain yard and wondered if it was the new tech expected(altho not a goat by any means) The same old red switcher was scene briefly at Wallula Junction facility(who is Frontier Rail Co., said to be switching firm?), plus a Watco geep in nearby yard.</p><p>BTW, there are several good aerial photos of that facility(with reefer strings) on Port of Walla Walla website, and a few ground level pix plus lotsa press releases / news accounts of initial operations on Railex' own website. I mistook it for U.P. reefer repair facility on fast driveby, then discovered this thread on search for any info about WW area railroads(to clarify what I had and hadn't seen while in town). Rich and informative debate and discussion for sure.</p>
