The Log Trains of Southern Idaho

191 pp. This book has three histories: the railroads; the logging; and a regional saga of Weyerhaeuser operations during the height of the steam era. Boise Payette Lumber operated their own common carrier railroad, fostered two more and dominated a fourth. The whole story of Southern Idaho's logging history is covered in these railroads, the B-P's logging lines and that of competitor Hallack & Howard Lbr., supplemented with over 300 photos and maps. We're pleased to once again make available this long out of print book.
