For this series we begin in Marshall Canyon south of Spokane. We will follow former Northern Pacific trackage to Sandpoint, ID and then the former Great Northern trackage over Marias Pass in Montana. In 1918, the GN installed block signals on 31 miles of single track between Troy, MT and Bonners Ferry, ID, 31 miles of single track between Stryker, MT and Rexford, 43 miles of single track between Essex, MT and Columbia Falls, 34 miles of single track between Blackfoot, MT and Summit. It add signals to 41 miles of single track between Newport, WA and Spokane the following year. By the end of 1919, the GN had 444 miles of single track and 358 miles of double track with automatic block signals. However, this was about half the mileage of its neighbor to the south. The Northern Pacific had automatic block signals on 1,149 miles of single track and 558 miles of double track at the end of 1919. All pictures in this series are on disks 7, 12, and 13. You can purchase a disk and printout any of the pictures for your own use to dress up your train room or add color to a house that just cries out for more train pictures. Marshall Canyon
