The grain train arrives Blakeslee Junction on the PS&P, but doesn't get any further thanks to the Centralia Switcher having everything plugged up.
Wide angle shot of the grainer.
The Puget Sound & Pacific Centralia Switcher heads to Northwest Hardwood, the track in the forground is the old Chehalis Western, now Tacoma Rail and isn't used for much other than baretable storage.
The Centralia Switcher returns from Northwest Hardwoods with two boxcars in tow.
The power heads into the yard to get in the clear for the Centralia Switcher to handle.
Great shot, except for the damned fence. Grrrrrrrr.... Why couldnt the 3872 be on this end, anyway????
Sometime in the last month, tAcoma Rail came down and gathered up all the Baretables off the old Chehalis Western. Would have LOVED to have known about it!!! I really hate this Helm unit.
Yet another location where you can't argue with me where I took the photo :)
The track immediatel in the foreground is a connection to Tacoma Rail (ex Chehalis Western), and the next track only goes a few miles and is typically used to store UP's outbound M-PSPD. which is what this crew was doing. They pulled past me and shoved back.
I was hoping I'd get a decent shot of this thing. I did.

Another Rocky Mountain Railtours unit, leases to the PSAP. Someday, I hope to see an "all PSAP" lashup, but I'm not holding my breath. I guess I'll go to the CORP for that.
Once owned, I believe, by the Rocky Mountain Railtours group, this B&O GP40 now works in lease service on the Puget Sound & Pacific. it spent some time on the Portland & Western previous to coming here.
Pretty obvious, this isn't really an SP unit, though they did own it for a while.
Probably from the UGLPS.
Cal Northern #110 tied down for the night at Blakeslee JCT Centralia, WA, with a fuel truck on hand and waiting.
