Scope and Contents From the Series: This series consists of photographs of facilities in Spokane, Washington used by both the Northern Pacific Railroad and Great Northern Railway.

The photographs in this series are arranged as a group because of their location and because the NP and the GN co-owned the Spokane, Portland & Seattle Railway (SP&S).

Scope and Contents From the File:

Shows the south side of pier No. 5 and the north side of pier No. 4. These piers can load up to four ships at a time, each ship having a capacity of 10,000 to 25,000 tons. Last year we dumped about 18,000,000 tons of coal on these piers and, I understand, the carrier plants to build new coal piers to handle ships with a capacity of 45,000 tons. The ship in this photo is the General Guisan.

 File — Box: 61, Folder: 80
Scope and Contents From the File: Shows in the left center the west end of the Barney Yard and, on the right, the west end of the Lambert's point main yard. The fireman is needed here to relay signals to the engineer because of the curvatures in all of these tracks. In humping operations, because of the length of the train and the curvatures of the track , the head-end brakeman stations himself somewhere near the middle of the train in order to relay signals from the brakeman and conductor, who are riding on the rear of the...

 File — Box: 61, Folder: 81
Scope and Contents From the File: Shows in the foreground the tracks at the west end of the Barney Yard and, in the background, the middle of the main coal yard at Lambert's Point. The little blips in the background are, of course, the ends of the coal cars and there is here a virtual sea of coal at all times. Note: this yard is congested all the time. There are many curves first to the right and then to the left. This requires engineer and fireman to be on the alert. All the crews that operate in yard service on both ends...

Scope and Contents From the File:

Shows the main lines and the leads at the head of the Lambert's Point yard. There are about 16 crossovers in this yard, six of which are in this vicinity, and all of them are used very frequently. Because there are four crews working on the hump at the piers through these leads and crossovers, a sharp lookout must be maintained at all times. To the right are two or three storage yard leads.
