The Columbia River Subdivision or Columbia River Sub is a railway line running about 167 miles (269 km) from Wenatchee to Spokane, Washington.[3] It is operated by BNSF Railway[4] as part of their Northern Transcon. The original line (built in 1893) was built as part of James J. Hill's Great Northern Railway transcontinental railway line.
