Milw Avery, ID
The magic of Avery.
Located at the west side of the Bitterroot Mountains, the isolated railroad town of Avery was the end of the Rocky Mountain Division and western end of electrification. Diesels took over west bound trains. Only a couple of years previous this was known as the "the gap" between here and the Coast Division electrification beginning at Othello,WA.
Train #263 continues on to the coast while the EF-4's are sitting beside the engine house. Another set is inside the house getting some TLC.
