Campout Sun #18 - Rolling on the Railroad Mystery Cache

This puzzle cache is part of the Campout Sun set of caches. It deals with Railroads of Eastern Washington and the grain elevators they serve.

Cache terrain is easy. The puzzle should be easy if you are able to understand the information from the maps provided.

This cache puzzle is inspired by what is around the cache location and in Eastern Washington in general, and no, I don't mean a whole lot of nothing. However that seems to be the case in some areas. We do have a large network of railroads and grain elevators though. This puzzle will make you ride the rails and discover their routes and some of the old grain elevators of the area. In some cases the grain elevator, and stop along the rail line, made the town. In many places it is all that is left of what could be referred to as a town.

This cache is not located at the posted coordinates. The cache is located at:

A. The PV Hooper Line owned by the state and operated by PCC goes to the WhitGro elevator in which town Northeast of Hooper? (Endicott = 1)(LaCrosse = 2)(St. John = 3)(Colfax = 4)

B. Who operates the CW Line between the Highline Shuttle Facility near Four Lakes and the McGregor elevator in Creston? (CBRW = 7)(PCC = 8)(EWG = 9)(P&L Line = 0)

C. Which town Southwest of the Highline Shuttle Facility on the BNSF line also has a shuttle facility? (Ritzville = 1)(Sprague = 2)(Cheney = 3)(Moses Lake = 4)

D. The rail line from the grain elevator in Kettle Falls, WA going North to the Canadian border is operated by what company? (OmniTrax = 0)(BNSF = 1)(Northern Pacific = 2)(Wyoming and Genesee = 3)

E. Who operates the Washington and Idaho rail lines connecting Spokane to the elevators in the Palouse and Pullman? (BNSF = 7)(Watco Companies = 8)(Washington State Department of Transportation = 9)(Union Pacific = 0)

F. Who owns the line that passes the grain elevator in Hooper on the way from Spokane to the Tri Cities and Walla Walla? (BNSF = 4)(Union Pacific = 5)(Washington State Department of Transportation = 6)(Watco Companies = 7)
