The reason I did not mention the Connell and other jobs is because they don't bridge the gap you tried to establish between Pasco and Hinkle. I did mention the Low Line because it at least bridges the gap between BNSF and UP. If you're now going to throw nicest-looking passenger station, restored steam, etc., into a discussion on what makes an important railroad center, it's probaby time to start a new thread about what makes a city neat for railfans.
