Palisades, WA

Edith Ann Allmendinger (1876-1939), on her way to Wenatchee, waits for the train at the Palisades Depot.  She is the grandmother of Fran Roth, a local Palisades resident that still resides there today.  Photo taken in 1912 with a caption that reads "Going to town".   Photo from the Fran Roth collection.   




Railroad Switch Stand

Great Northern Railway Switch Stand painted back to its original luster.  Recovered from Supplee, WA in the year 1986 when the Mansfield Branch Line was being removed. 





The picture below shows possibly the same switch stand at Supplee in the 1950's.

Railroad Switch Stand

A Great Northern Railway Switch Stand retrieved in 1986 from the northern end of the Supplee Siding when the line was being taken out. It now resides along my golf cart/ATV trail.
