Boise Readies for Grand Opening Celebration of Oregon Short Line
Boise gears up for a massive April 16 celebration marking the Oregon Short Line main line opening and the new station dedication. Four hundred Idaho National Guard members, cowboys, girls, and Duck Valley Indians join thousands of locals for a parade and live events led by railroad officials including President Carl Gray. A sham battle, airplane stunts, multiple bands, and a simulated era reenactment cap the excitement as Boise turns back the dial to early mining days.
