Hot garbage - a photo on Flickriver

Hot garbage

            The Everett to Roosevelt garbage loads roll eastward near Towal, Washington. The train has been following the Columbia River for roughly 160 miles since it passed Longview Junction. 

In a little over 20 miles, it will reach its destination of Roosevelt. The containers of refuse will be unloaded there, and trucked the final few miles to the massive landfill. 

During the mid-90s, the garbage train was a relatively modest job that did not run every day. Even after the BNSF merger, the C30-7 on the point was a relatively rare bird in the Northwest. 

Today, BNSF's EVEROO is a massive daily train.
