This was my ride last night
The Eastern Washington Gateway Railroad #328 assisted by the #329 behind.
After starting my day at work @6am I get a call from my friend Jerry, who is a fellow train club member, and says are you up for a train ride. This was about 2:30PM. Drop what your doing and be in Cheney, WA by 4:00PM. So I head to Cheney. I met Jerry who is the engineer and Simon, the conductor, and we take a car ride to Davenport, WA. to relieve the day shift crew. The mission was to take a load of empty grain cars 50 miles west to Hartline, WA. We had for drops to make in route. When we get to Davenport, there were two ex Montana Raillink SD45-2 waiting to go. It was slow going with winter being hard on the road we had several speed restrictions. Most of the distance was covered at between 10 and 15 mph. It was a great ride. I didn’t get a lot of photos because it was dark. We got done dropping our last load and tying down the locomotives at a little after midnight. 2 and a half hours back to Cheney. Home and in bed by a little after 3:30 am. I am tired. Thanks to the crew of the EWG for a fun evening.
