Historical NoteReturn to Top

Owned and operated by Northern Pacific Railway and Union Pacific, the Camas Prairie Railroad was incorporated in 1909 and ran through northern Idaho to the late 1990s.

The Camas Prairie Railroad's main subdivision routes were:

Lewiston, ID to Riparia, WA Lewiston, ID to Stites, ID Spalding, ID to Grangeville, ID Orofino, ID to Headquarters, ID

It covered less than 300 miles total, but it connected the region's largest exporters of wheat and lumber. The Camas Prairie Railroad was also known as the last section to connect the eastern with the west. Not only did it transport materials, but it also was a way for people to travel across the country.
