Plum Creek was actually just north of Pablo at a siding called Dunham.

Other business during the BN/ MRL era up until the washout as follows...

Agency... log loading from time to time.

Ronan... fertilizer and LPG inbound and some grain products outbound. I hear some grain still trucks to Kalispell on the Mission Mtn RR for a covered hopper ride somewhere.

Pablo... gravel loading and some grain, outbound.

Dunham... (Plum Creek) log loads in, lumber out.

Salish (about a mile north of Dunham)... asphalt loads in, from Billings.

"New" Polson (top of the hill near US 93)... LPG inbound. "New" Polson was built when they windened US 93 and MRL got to abandon west into town.

About halfway down the hill into Polson (where today, is a Red Lion) was Flathead or Dupius Lumber. Lumber loads out.

Polson (downtown)... wallboard in, with gravel and log loading out.

All pissed away because MRL wouldn't spring for a carload or two of rip-rap to repair that washout near Moise. A shame.
