Rumbling through downtown Spokane.
Burlington Northern Santa Fe GE C44-9W (Dash 9-44CW) # BNSF 4302 brings up the rear on another huge manifest as it rumbles across the viaduct.
Those who know Spokane may well be familiar with the building that a incorporates the two illuminated chimneys. The building now acts as a bar, restaurant and hotel but was previously as its name suggests a steam plant providing power for the municipality. It was an unusual concept and provided heat throughout the city via huge underground pipes that carried the generated steam. After seventy years of generation it closed down in 1986.
