East of Ellensburg WA, a tresle of the Milwaukee Road crosses the I90 as a tractor-trailer heads east. Although the rail bridge predates the Interstate and was less susceptible to hazardous conditions in the winter, only the highway carries traffic today.
The railroad was electrified here, but mismanagement and poor track maintenance led to its decline and eventual abandonment.
