Train Caught Five Days In Snow Bank Near Wayland
Northern Pacific train No. 906 traveling from Athena to Pasco was blocked for five days in a snow filled cut near Wayland Station eight miles north of the city. After a blizzard halted the locomotive and cars, a second engine crew from Pasco tried to dig out the train but became stuck themselves. Snow removal by shovels and water from melted snow kept engines alive while Ramsay and his crew worked around the clock. A rotary snow plow from Pasco finally freed the train on Tuesday afternoon. Train No. 906’s return trip to Athena began without incident on Friday while a separate Pasco to Athena run faced developing blizzard conditions during switching.
