The railroad on stilts as they called it. The Camas Prairie Railroad started operations in 1908 and ran trains to the town of Grangeville for 92 years. Scraping of the line began in the early 2000s and then one of the trestles burned severing the upper half of the line. Now, in 2022 the current plan is to remove all rail from that burned trestle down to Bridge 17.
For posterity I videoed my ride on my rail rider from the top of the line all the way down grade to bridge 17. Unfortunately, the weather deteriorated and began to rain, excuse the water droplets on the camera. Also I shot most of this in wide angle camera mode to get the full experience of the surrounding area but it makes it look like I am flying down the track when I was only going 10mph.
I hope you enjoy this last ride on the line....
