Railroad set in Skamania County Washington a costly relic
A long defunct rail line in Skamania County Washington is described as a costly failure. It stretched less than a mile, cost about 90000, ran from Tasppet to the Lower Cascades, used the old Oregon Steam Sivigatich line, and is now the property of a successor company. The era of its glory has passed, with its right of way rusting. The line was intended to carry inland and coastal freight and salmon from fisheries, but now remains deteriorated.
