Gilmore & Pittsburg railroad tied to Chicago & Northwestern
Dillon residents discuss a Portland dispatch claiming Gilmore & Pittsburg is an extension of Chicago & Northwestern. The plan would route via Salmon and Snake rivers to Texas City Washington then Pasco to Portland, with eventual reach to Coos Bay. An English land syndicate with four railroad directors is buying land in the region. Pearl S. Smith contends the road could form a trans continental system from Wyoming to Yellowstone Park then Armstead to the coast.
