Hodgson.. Yes it was an assigned crew based at Kettle Falls Washington. It was a six day job, They made two round trips per week. BN reserved a motel room at Salmo near the tracks.

Was it the same crew for all 3 days?

Stephen: Day 1 Kettle Falls to Salmo; Day 2 Salmo to Nelson and Return; Day 3 Salmo to Kettle Falls. Used to make it from K Falls to Nelson in a day but track deteriorated to 15MPH resulting in a lay at Salmo.

I’m intrigued at a three day turn… but not familiar with how. Any explanation to how this occurred and why?
