    The Camas Prairie: Idaho’s Panhandle Railroad
    is a history of the spectacular
    Camas Prairie Railroad
    in
    eastern Washington and northern Idaho
    .
    Formed out of the intense competition between the
    Northern Pacific Railway
    and the
    Union Pacific Railroad
    in 1909, the Camas Prairie operated joint trackage between Riparia, Washington, and Lewiston, Idaho, with branches extending to Headquarters, Stites, and Grangeville, Idaho.
    The railroad became known for its many spectacular timber bridges, including the famous Halfmoon bridge in Lapwai Canyon.
    Carefully researched from railroad papers and interviews with employees, this is the story of the Camas Prairie Railroad from founding to present-day. Chapters cover surveying and constructing the line to the railroad’s namesake prairie; the relationship with the railroad’s largest shipper, Potlatch Forests, Inc.; the evolving operations of each of the railroad’s four subdivisions as the company adapted to stay viable; the railroad’s equipment, including locomotives, cabooses, and other rolling stock leased from its parent companies Union Pacific and Northern Pacific; and the post-1998 short line era.
    The book also discusses freight and passenger connections to the parent roads. From the beginning, photographers were drawn to the railroad due to the many spectacular bridges built to handle the steep terrain.
    Photographs in the book span from the early construction era to the 2000s, and include the work of well-known photographers Henry R. Griffiths, Jr., Dr. Philip R. Hastings, Philip C. Johnson, Blair Kooistra, Rob Leachman, and many others.
    With multiple maps and over 350 illustrations and photographs, many in color, this 320-page hardcover book will be of great interest to both Union Pacific and Northern Pacific historians alike, as well as anyone interested in Pacific Northwest history.
