Northwestern North Coast rail plan tied to Spokane to Seattle route
Northwestern business interests led by rail magnate Robert Strahorn outline a new transcontinental feeder from Salmon City in Lemhi county along the Salmon river toward Portland via Teton pass. The North Coast line from Spokane to Seattle would connect with Great Northern, Northern Pacific, Milwaukee, and Harriman lines, with Boise and Coos Bay as feeder endpoints.
