Along the Spokane, Portland, & Seattle highline just west of Spokane. Line was built 1906 - 8. Once sported deep yellow-green 160 BFNY's with drips. McL and Maydwell hoops still in the air today. Wrecking crew is working westward about a mile east of here. Soon it will be gone forever. Looking to the north, the line turns as it reaches that distant clearing and runs across the 1972 vintage viaduct built for Expo '74 that got the trains out of downtown and runs beside I-90. No train in sight!
