Section abandoned in 1979. There was an interchange track leading down from the NP to the GN. There was a large bridge over the GN and Crab Creek. The footings are still in the creek bed.
From what I hear, the NP did not run much on that section in later years. The NP interchanged a lot of cement cars from the GN during the construction of the Grand Coulee Dam.
I remember seeing autorack cars in storage, pushed up the interchange and north of the bridge, before the rails came out.
The guy who pulled up the track kept the station sign from Bacon, and has it in Moses Lake.
