I made a trip from Spokane over to Providence Hill on Thursday 12/5. Every siding except Fishtrap had a train in it. There were also 3 trains stopped on the double track over Providence Hill. The train at Paha was actually on the main with a car that had stuck brakes. Lots of dead crews and dog catch crews out all the way from Hauser east. They apparently had run out of vans so the drivers were picking up multiple crews out on the road. The Pasco East dispatcher was getting kind of snarky, especially about the boys in the back room.
There is even a train of auto racks in the siding at Overlook since Wednesday. Overlook ususally gets grain or coal trains.
