Jaype branch has one bridge missing a concrete sill, posts and stringers.
There are 3 major washouts up the line from there and a fourth in the process.
Unless logging shifts to the Jaype area again, no use in making repairs.
Kamiah Mills is still shut down but Clearwater Forest Industries at Kooskia is still producing lumber and hauls it to the Kamiah Mills site for reload to center beams. Train usually makes one round trip per week to Kamiah.
Three Rivers on the north side of the river at Kamiah is producing, but so far hasn't shipped by rail.
