Actually two trains on the Hillyard Line: Mead Turn has one or two geeps very rarely with three geeps train is mostly tankcars, grain cars, sometimes an boxcar, and coke hopper. Mead Turn usually comes by anytime between 4pm to 7pm and return 9 to 11pm.
Chewelah Turn is a long manifest to interchange with Kettle Falls International Railway. BNSF interchanges cars at Chewelah. Train has 5 to 6 geeps mostly pulling ore gondolas, boxcars, centerbeams, some grain cars, a few tankcars and sometimes a very long string of 2 bay covered hoppers for glass material or cement. The Train operates usually anytime between about 7pm to 11pm and return is anytime between 10am to 1pm. What I seen.
