JULY 2021: Today marks a very special occasion. For the last two years, the Spokane Spangle and Palouse Railway has been dumping millions of dollars to restore the old P&L route. Shippers in the region have been showing interest in rail transport due to how cost effective it is, however in the past this route wasn't an option due to poor track conditions and extremely slow operating speeds. Today you will take charge of the first revenue train to run over the Palouse River Valley in years. You are in control of two Watco owned GP38-2s that the SSPR is leasing for the summer. The engines are running long hood forward because in this era the P&L Route only has one wye, which is about 50 miles north of us. Even as annoying as it is to operate, it's a pretty common thing.

This scenario isn't too unlikely, mainly because when I talked to the owner of the Potlatch Lumber mill, which is situated on the old WI&M branch, he said that under ideal circumstances they'd like to ship by rail. It wasn't possible at the time due to track conditions, however he did say that the new operator of the line was unofficially interested in restoring the WI&M branch to operating condition. Currently the SSPR uses the WI&M branch for storing various types of cars, however recently they removed all storage cars off the branch. Hopefully we'll see something soon.
