This substation was built in 1919 when the 208 mile section from Othello to Tacoma was first electrified.  It converted 100,000-volt AC current to 3000-volt DC current, which was then fed to the locomotives via a catenary above the track.  These locomotives were more powerful than their steam-powered forefathers, required less maintenance and service, and even recharged their batteries via regenerative braking.
This retired fire truck serves as the sign for Smokey's BBQ.  The restaurant is set up in the old train depot, and you'll need to enter from the boarding platform out back.  While I can't say this was the best bbq I've ever had, it still hit the spot for us and we'll be making it a regular stop whenever we drive across the pass.  We ordered the basic pork + beans + cornbread plate and a shake, though next time I'll be ordering the Train Wreck - an open-face sandwich where the meat, beans, onions, cheese and coleslaw are piled atop sliced cornbread and then smothered with bbq sauce!
This train depot was built in 1909 as part of a railway expansion into the Pacific Northwest.  Depots and rail yards were built 100 to 150 miles apart (240km) as crew rest stops and an engine service stations.  Originally this yard consisted of the depot, roundhouse, turntable, ash tank, water tank and bunkhouse.  When the line was electrified in 1920 the substation (seen in the background) was added.

By 1980 The Milwaukee Road was near bankruptcy.  They sold off most of their property and transferred the line itself to the state.  Today, a 100 mile stretch of that line forms the John Wayne Pioneer Trail, a non-motorized trail open to the public, including a 2.3 mile long (3.7km) tunnel under Snoqualmie Pass (remember to bring your flashlight).

8,2/10 Very Good! (1 000 arvostelua)
Area was beautiful. Our mattress, comforter and pillows were all lumpy and uncomfortable. Food and drinks were insanely high. One white russian $22 before the tip. Price gauging ruins any trip yet people must pay it. Check-in at 4 pm is really late. We travel often and it’s never been so late. Overall ...

Staff at the Quality Inn were pleasant and helpful. The rooms are very clean, if a little worn. I love that there's a little cafe right across the street - so nice to be able to walk to dinner after a long drive!
