2009-05-23 #01Lewiston ID Speeder trip - Lewiston Yard to Transfer
On May 23rd through 25th Lewiston Idaho was the hub of speeder activity as Pacific Railcar Operators hosted the fourth annual Memorial Day Weekend motorcar excursion on three branches of the former Camas Prairie Railroad (CSP) on May 23, 24 and 25, 2009. This was in combination with a second excursion on the Eastern Washington Gateway Railroad on May 27 and 28.
The set-on location was at the headquarters of the Great Northwest Railroad in East Lewiston, Idaho.
The following videos are of Saturday where we ran the Great Northwest Riparia branch - Lewiston to Riparia and return, for a total of 144 miles. This video begins in the Lewiston Yard, travels through the storage tracks, across the large drawbridge across the Clearwater River near the confluence of the Clearwater and the Snake Rivers, then approaching the Idaho-Washington State line.
The drawbridge was originally constructed in 1906 by the Oregon-Washington Railway and Navigation Co. (now UP). It used to be a manually operated swing bridge until just after WWII. When the dams were constructed on the Snake River, the bridge was raised in place 9 feet, the swing span converted to a fixed span, two spans in the middle were removed and the current lift span and tower spans were constructed. The lift span was replaced in the mid-70's.
After exiting the drawbridge we turn west and will arrive shortly at Transfer.

May 19, 2014, Felt to Tetonia, Idaho
Still going South on highway 32 and dodging as many rain showers as we can. We did get into a few of them, but no biggie. Came up on a local farmer driving his tractor down the highway talking on his damn cell phone. We got into Tetonia and got hit with a small rain shower.
