The big change in Spokane railroads in 1973 was the Latah Bridge that changed everything. Now all the railroads could use one exit from downtown Spokane using the ex-NP overhead where cars and trains need not co-exist.
- The old UP track coming off High Bridge is seen as a remnant to the right of the wye crossing over I-90.
- The SP&S line coming from Fort Wright crosses I-90 and you can still see a shadow of the line lining up with the north leg of the wye.
- Trains going to/from Seattle use the north leg while most trains going to Portland go west on the south leg.
- The old NP line takes in the east bounds from Pasco/Portland.
Any questions? Did I get it right?
