In this Sept. 30, 2009 photo, a railroad-style distance marker that indicates the distance in miles from Chicago is shown on the Iron Goat hiking trail, which follows the old Great Northern Railway across Stevens Pass in Washington state. The trail passes through the abandoned town of Wellington, Wash., about 60 miles northeast of Seattle near Skykomish, Wash., which was the site 100 years ago, where two passenger trains were swept away by the worst avalanche disaster in U.S. history, killing nearly 100 people.
