St. Maries River Railroad - first time visitor

First day of vacation here on Lake Coeur D Alene, I ventured south to the St. Maries, ID to unearth new territory on one of the last loggers around. After learning that a late start wouldnt ruin my chances I arrived in St. Maries, checked in at the depot and found the crew switching the mill prior to taking a cut of empties to Clarkia to exchange for loads. On the point today were two ex MILW GP9s, lots of forty foot cars which several were built in the late 40s. Bringing up the rear was an ex-BN wide vision caboose. Photos from the trip can be located on Train Orders link or on Railroad Forums link.

I do have a question - what year did they stop running on the line to the Regulus Stud mill?

Thanks in advance.
