Still carrying the two-tone blue livery of Great Northern, this F7A looks to be approaching the end of its life but did receive BN Green. Sold to Precision National in December 1980,presumably for parts/scrap. New to Great Northern as its 314A in April 1952.

BN 322 is parked next to the Centralia station.

Pretty sure the "order-board" is gone now. I actually bid on a AMTRAK Ticket sellers job here and got awarded it. A week later I got awarded a job at Bellingham and never had to go here.

Wished I knew more about this location. Think it's the roundhouse for the joint BN/UP line to Hoqium/Aberdeen at Centrailia

Anything with UP on it will get many hits.

UP 3593 runs north past the depot

SP 8353 runs north on the BN past the depot
