Rail route debate pushes westward across the continent
A mid nineteenth century survey notes a Pacific railroad must cross the western plains to reach ports by the Pacific. Gov Stevens reports the Milk River valley and Cadotte passes show feasible routes with limited snow. Major McClelland’s party confirms direct alignments from Port Benton to Olympia, while winter conditions in Oregon and Washington are less severe than eastern snow belts.
