Embedded Files
Edmonds Landing, Emonds or EL, is in an interesting spot geographically speaking. It lies between the location of Clearwater Jct as seen on the former MILW, now BNSF, timetable and the town of Clearwater proper. All trains on the Clearwater Pacific originate from this yard. The shops of the railroad, the B. Dirks Service Facility is located here and the BNSF usually drops cars every other day for both Clearwater and Seeley Lake. The frequency is due to the ability of the transload facility in Bonner to fill 40' cars and get them to EL. Those moves usually happen before the CP crews show up.
Edmonds Landing is three primary tracks and two shop tracks. Track 1 is the designated interchange location for southbound (BNSF) traffic. If cars are needed to go north they will be placed here. Usually power is simply wyed at Clearwater Jct and the traffic placed on Track 2. Track 3 is a classification track. Track 3 is locked to the classification track. The engine house track, Track 4, can be used when switching although the shop crews don't like it much. Track 5 is the general shop track. RIP services can be performed here and the fuel and sand dock can be found here.
