Main One Not In Danger From Snake River Route
Civil engineer F G Schubert reports the Huntington to Lewiston Snake river route would not divert traffic from the Oregon Railroad and Navigation main line over the Blue mountains. The study notes 343 miles via Snake route versus 217 miles via La Grande Pendleton, with heavy investments already in place on the mountain route. Schubert says the Snake line could serve Seven Devils mineral output but will take years to connect Huntington to Lewiston.
