102 Years Ago

I would be remiss not to mention that today marks the 102 anniversary of the Wellington Avalanche that killed 96 people: 35 passengers and 63 Great Northern railroaders and postal employees. It was the disaster that eventually lead to the drilling of the 8-mile Cascade Tunnel.

For the past week, over on Facebook I have been posting photos and daily updates of how the event unfolded. If interested and are apart of FB, here's the link:

Let's all take a second out of our day and remember the boys....
