New Year's Eve, 1979--Milwaukee Road arrives Lynden, Washington
The weather is damp and dark and miserable as you'd expect. The Milwaukee Road's local freight between Bellingham and Sumas, Washington, has left the "mainline" for the five mile trip down the spur to Lynden, a small dary and farming community in Whatcom County. On the east edge of town, short of Nooksack Street, the single SD10 has stopped and cut off its train. The crew will pull into town an come up with a plan to swap freight cars out. Included inbound are a few cars of feed and empty mechanical refrigerator cars for perishable loading.
