Today's Photo
As reports surface regarding the end of the log hauling operations of the St Maries River Railroad (ID), I felt it appropriate to post this shot of an incoming logger from Clarkia arriving at the yards in St Maries, Idaho. I guess the line will continue to ship finished timber products from St Maries to Plummer, ID on the old Milwaukee Road mainline for UP connection, but the log hauling operations seem to have reached their sunset. <;>(
