With W&I now operating the P&L, they seem to operate almost anytime, day or night, weekends included, that fits their requirements. Suggest you follow highway 27 south of Rosalia via Oakesdale, Garfield, and Palouse. Last weekend they left a train just south of Rosalia.

BNSF Coeur d'Alene local is kind of a catchall mainline local that ranges all the way from Hauser yard to Fairchild AFB for the Geiger spur connection (currently Thursday mornings). I am not sure which days they actually run down the Coeur d'Alene branch. I think it is a M-F job, but am not positive. There seems to be another local that works out of Trentwood. It sometimes is tied up at the small yard south of Trent ave just west of Sullivan road. When working they are often on the trackage at the east end of the industrial park, just west of Flora road.

Another local is the Lind turn which typically runs 6 days/week leaving Yardley late afternoon and returning in the evening. They work Cheney, take CW train trains to Scribner, and work the ballast pit at Missle Base quarry east of Sprague. They do go as far as Lind on a as-needed basis.

The "Rat turn" seems to be no more.
