Caldwell offers $25,000 cash right of way and terminal facilities and has engineers surveying toward Winnemucca with construction likely within ninety days. Winnemucca must act to secure the junction or risk losing the chance to become a northern rail hub and Idaho’s top town.

Railroad route to Caldwell favored by surveyors
Road plans show the Butte and San Francisco line down the Payette river to Emmett then Caldwell crossing the Snake river at Mussel Ferry south of Caldwell. Survey cross sections from Caldwell to the south will decide whether to follow Warm Spring creek or Bear valley via Clear creek to the river this summer. Jim Ballantyne agreed to guide the survey party on both routes. Caldwell real estate prices rise as the line’s path seems set, with a 60 by 100 foot lot selling for 10000 after three years ownership of Jim’s brothers. Dewey road to Horseshoe Bend planned now by Union Pacific with work starting immediately.
