Othello, Washington. 35 years ago this was a division point of the Milwaukee Road, with a large yard and engine facility. 45 years ago, this is where diesel trains from the east were exchanged for electric locomotives to continue west across western Washington - or vice-versa. Today, its a largely abandoned yard, save for a couple tracks used by a local shortline that uses a combination of the Milwaukees old mainline, and some former Northern Pacific branchlines, to serve the few remaining agricultural shippers here in the heart of Washington.
