[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by emmar Anywhere outside Spokan ,WA. I sat at a siding there for a whole day and did not see a single train. [/quote] Where exactly were you? BNSF's mainline through Spokane sees 50 to 60 trains a day, westbound when they get to Latah Junction half go north and west while the other half go south and west. At Fishlake westbound and Trent Junction eastbound UP goes on it's own with 5 or so per day. I think the Colville branch out of Spokane hosts one train per day, the PCC via the Marshall branch to the south maybe once or twice a week. UP's Plummer branch hosts a couple per week. But as for Spokane, it is a glorified hobo camp/streetwalker convention/public urinal, not a place to be oblivious to those around you. Keep the car doors locked and an escape route handy. I did stay at one of those so-called motels by Latah Junction one time. Great place to watch the rail action but I'd never go back again. Way too many social underachievers hanging around. Pasco WA is another place that can have great train action but you're in constant fear for your safety, which can make it one of the worst train watching places.
