This day in Railroad History
January 25, 1916
The Idaho and Washington Northern (I&WN) was sold at auction today to the Milwaukee Road. The original rail line between Metaline Falls and Newport, Washington was constructed during the years 1909 to 1911 by Fredrick Blackwell. The Milwaukee Road ran the railroad until 1979 when it declared it was no longer economically feasible to keep the line in operation. Rather than abandoning the line, the citizens of Pend Oreille County joined together and voted to create the Port of Pend Oreille to operate the Pend Oreille Valley Railroad (POVA). The Port of Pend Oreille is one of only a few Port District’s within Washington that does not collect a property tax.

only the tracks on the left (OTR) remain today. Here is shown the SP#2467 being rebuilt, the private car Tamalpias and the restored GP-9 #5623.
