Thanks,
Did you mean I-90 rather than I5? I think you meant no prospect of customers from Woodinville to I90, which is in Bellevue near where the line was severed at the Wilburton Tunnel. So no prospect of customers between Woodinville and Bellevue. As far as I know there is nothing on the other side of the severed portion: Renton to I90.
The last customer I knew about on the Redmond Branch was near the 90th Street Crossing at Willows Road in Redmond, which is 5-6 miles from the Woodinville Why. I saw what appeared to be a lumber flat car, or something like that in a siding a few years ago.
I'd be interested to see a photo of the old NP bridge over the Ship Canal, or industrial spurs along Westlake Ave or Terry Road in Seatte if anyone is kind enough to have one. Like I said, I don't recall those being covered in any of Warren Wing's excellent photograph books. Thanks.
