Depot Notecard

 

Rail Tails is a series collected and edited by Ruth Eckes.  Ruth was an operator for the Northern Pacific Railway beginning in 1944.  She worked many  locations including Kanaskat and Snoqualmie.  Her books are an anthology of real railway stories - an oral history - about what it was like to work for the railway.  Whistles In The Night is the third book in the series and is offered for $15.95  Also available is Rail Tales, the first in the series, Blow the Whistle Softly, the second and Call of the Rails, the fourth.

Several years ago, Pat Dugan of Woodinville painted a wonderful watercolor of the Snoqualmie Depot.  Now this image is available on a note card (blank inside) and as a pre-matted 8x10 inch print suitable for framing.  The image is true to the depot design and would make a great addition to any home or office decor.  The card is a delightful way to send thank you notes or other correspondence to your friends and family.  The note card is offered at $2.50 (includes the envelope) and the print retails for $35.00
