While living on Grays Harbor, WA in the late 1990's, I shot this video of a dilapidated BN chop-nosed GP-9 (originally GN 660) working the industrial branches in Aberdeen/Hoquiam.
In this sequence, the "geep" leaves a plywood mill in North Hoquiam and hauls its train across the Hoquiam River on an ancient swing bridge. Next, there is street running at two locations on the line before the train enters the Hoquiam yard and runs around its train. After also picking up a string of centerbeams loaded with Weyerhaeuser-cut lumber, the train gets ready to cross the Hoquiam River on a second swing bridge closer to the mouth of the river. On the other side, the train has now crossed into Aberdeen as it passes an old "wig-wag" crossing signal and heads for the Aberdeen yard.
This was the last true BN "geep" I saw on the branch - normal power for BN trains were GP-38s and such. About a year after this was taken, Puget Sound & Pacific acquired the branch and operated it with four Paducah-rebuilt geeps for several years. Even they are gone today.
