The ghost of rail lines past

Hikers approach the second Rosalia bridge after crossing the first span on the two-mile hike.

Mark Borleske of Everett, left, and Bruce Butler of Pullman get ready Saturday to lead a hike across the former Milwaukee bridges which are now a featured part of the Palouse to Cascade Trail at Rosalia.

This photo of the first Malden station on the Milwaukee was shown by Borleske during an illustrated before-and-after talk about the trail.
