Margaret - especially for you! Enjoy.

Each of these recordings has additional caption information.

EWG's SD45 8924 & GP7 1617 climb Deep Creek grade with 29 grain loads

EWG's SD45 8924 & GP7 1617 at Medical Lake

EWG's GP7 1617 tackles a hill alone

Here is a youtube video showing all 4 units eastbound on a loaded grain train. The best sounds begin at 3:30 in the video in a section of track good for 25 mph.

And finally a late night recording of 2 BNSF SD40-2's (along with a couple of GP39M's) at 5 different locations in the Spokane area.

EWG used to have 3 SD45's but one, 8925, was retired last year and traded in on the tunnel motor when it's turbocharger failed.
