Doty One

We are at the General Store in Doty WA. We stopped here because the store has a collection of historical photos of the area on the wall.

Doty Two

Another view of us at the Doty General Store.

Bridge One

The crew is inspecting one of the trestles on the former R-O-W going west to Raymond WA.

Bridge Two

Another view of our inspectors. We did have Bob Shanklin, former Milwaukee Road B&B foreman, with us so he could tell us the history of the bridge having worked on it during his career.

Cut

Members are inspecting a cut for the former grade just on the west side of the summit of the hill between Chehalis WA. and Raymond WA. This line was removed about 1971 and has been completely taken over by vegetation except for physical conditions such as this cut.

Tank One

This is the former fuel oil tank in Raymond WA which was in the yard. The entire yard area is now a city park with a skateboard facility in front of the tank. This is the only remaining example of a fuel oil tank remaining on Lines West we know of. There are some other pedestals remaining but without their tanks.

Tank Two

Our group posing for our annual photo in front of the tank.

Tank Three

Another view of the members.

Yard One

Our bus is parked in what once was the Milwaukee yard in Raymond WA. This is looking East.

Sign

We always have to put our "flags" on our busses.

Yard Two

Another view in the former yard looking Southeast.

Ruth One

Our train is ready for us to board at Ruth WA for our return to Chehalis WA.

Ride One

Members enjoying the open car on our return to Chehalis.

Ruth Two

A view of the trestle we have just crossed.

Runby One

Back at Chehalis the crew does a run-around of the cars as a photo runby for us.

Runby Two

Another view of our locomotive.

Runby Three

Yet another view of our locomotive.

A Find

This is used for storage by the CC&C Ry. It seems quite intact and serves as an example of this class of car.
