The St.Maries switch crew is pulling a long string of empty St.Maries(former Milwaukee Road) log cars out of the PFI Mill adjacent to the west yard in St.Maries, Idaho in August of 1994. This shot gives a good perspective of the cars. I grew up near St.Maries and spent a lot of time there during the Milwaukee Road days. I try to make a few trips a year to St.Maries.
