FP9 on The Palouse


Fellow Coug Mike Bjork has captured yet another great scene in his one-man battle to bring rail notoriety to The Palouse! On April 19th he captured this pair - an FP9 plus bonus GP30 - hauling revenue cars through the region. One might think this was taken in 1968, rather than 2008.

These are quiet, lonely, rolling hills which hold their own kind of beauty. I miss this region very much, and am thankful that Mike - plus my niece Emily - can experience Whitman County as I did two decades ago.

Nice work Mike!

Palouse Sunset and a GP30M

This Mike Bjork photo combines two of my favorite things - a Palouse Sunset and an EMD GP30.

What are some of my other favorite things? Pie, lots of it. Cars that are older than me. Two cylinders, two tires and 50mpg.

Nice work Mike!
