Today's Photo
This is the BNSF on the old Washington, Idaho and Montana (WI&M) trackage at Bovill, Idaho picking up pulp log loads from the STMA (St Maries River Railroad). This line washed out between Bovill and Potlatch, ID in the winter of 95-96 and was not rebuilt, therefore severing the STMA outlet to the BNSF system and leaving them with only the Union Pacific outlet at Plummer, ID.
