Operations on the PCC to Hooper and Walla Walla are as needed and therefore really have no set schedule.
Watco runs a switcher at the Boise paper mill but don't try to photograph them, their Security is very protective.
There are a couple of odd switchers are in service at the Railex facility at Wallula, access is easy, but don't linger too long.
UP runs their Finley (East Kennewick) switcher after switching the small yard between 0700 and 0900. They again leave to interchange with the TCRY in the evening at 1700-1900.
TCRY (Tri-City) switches the Con-Agra facility in Richland about 0700 then run to Kennewick with their UP interchange freight.
BNSF Low Line Turn leaves Pasco early to mid-afternoon, dropping off cars at Wallula, then running up to Ayer, returning early evening.
The BNSF Finley Turn leaves at about 1500.
The Connell Turn leaves mid-morning to meet the Columbia Basin Railway.
BGCM has been running up-river from Spaulding on Mondays or Tuesday and returning Thursday or Friday
