Dead Freight East
A trio of General Electric U-25B's rumble past the depot at South cle Elum. No longer a stop here in 1979, the railroad is struggling to stay alive and keep its transcontinental line running. Ahead lies Othello, where the crew will depart and the power will be turned for a return trip to Tacoma. The once proud Milwaukee road is in its last days. In March of 1980, all that will be left is Dust in the wind
