The Iron Goat Trail in #stevenspass in #thecascades was the site of one of the worst railroad accidents in U.S. history. In 1910 an avalanche knocked two trains off the tracks while they were snowed in at the Wellington depot, killing almost 100 people. After the accident the Great Northern Railroad abandoned the tracks and built new routes and tunnels. The abandoned tunnels and snowsheds still exist on the trail, and hikers share tales of hearing voices, screams and sounds around the crash site of Tye Creek in the (now ghost town) of Wellington. #washingtonstate #usrailroads #thegreatpnw https://www.instagram.com/p/CH_hCmwL4q8/?igshid=fmqyus6zxfw2
