I just looked back on one of my favorite memories - my Mom's parents lived in Kennewick (WA) and we spent every Summer there. My grandfather's best friend lived across the Columbia River in Pasco and he was an engineer for Amtrak. My older sisters and I got a special treat once when my grandfather took us to the Pasco station in the afternoon and his friend was the engineer on the train pulling in. While the train was at the station, they hoisted us up (literally one engineer grabbed us under our arms and the other engineer grabbed our hands and pulled us the rest of the way up) into the engine. We got to look at all the controls and see the viewpoint from the engineer. I LOVED IT! And my mom and dad have pictures of us from that day.
But I do remember it was a train on its way to Seattle. This would have been in the mid-70s. What Amtrak line would have run between Pasco and Seattle??
