WTCX Trip: Rocky Point Yard

Continued from Cowlitz River Bridge.

View of Rocky Point Yard from the Weyerhaeuser Woods Railroad (WTCX) Cowlitz River Bridge at Kelso, Washington on May 17, 2005

The freight train heading south on the BNSF main line through the Rocky Point yard. The Columbia & Cowlitz uses this yard to interchange cars with the BNSF. At the base of the bridge a spur comes off to connect to the yard. The Weyerhaeuser Woods Railroad does not use the yard.

North Kelso from the bridge, and the end of the freight. On the trestle, the locomotives of our train were actually directly above the freight train for a moment.
