Baby, I'm back! After 2 weeks or so at the Carlton Complex fire in Winthrop, WA, I have returned. And so does the Midweek Photo thread 
I hope all of you have been taking photos. I had the chance to get some railroad stuff, but no trains, while in Spokane, WA. Travel from West to east is rather difficult if you are under time constraints. I left the fire on Saturday, and had to wait for Sunday to fly back to Scranton, PA. So I took my phone to get a few shots of the area.
On the outskirts of Spokane sits this museum in the works. The Inland Empire Chapter of the NRHS houses these relics and a few others at their new site.
Spokane is known in the railroad world for almost constant height trains, and the splitting point for Empire Builder riders to go to either Portland or Seattle. Lesser known is Frank's Diner, near the elevated tracks. It has incredible Victorian style decor.
The only train I caught in motion. A double stack (BNSF?) train rolling over one of the neat viaducts in town. The train frequency is high, but you never know where to look. Not many crossings to give you a heads up.
The old Northern Pacific Railroad station. Now mainly a bus depot.
The NP medallion is missing from this bridge.
Now for you, my friends and others, to add to the experience. It is a big world of railroading. If you happened to catch some neat images, please share them with us here. Have a great week!
