Montour, Idaho. Located at the mouth of Stagecoach Canyon, Montour was eventually abandoned due to flooding from the Black Canyon Dam. Interested in all of the details? A full history of the route and the towns along it is available from SARM for $5. |

A group photo? No - it's a photo line with a sudden
drop at the end. Near Calamity Gulch, Idaho.

Our train crosses Calamity Gulch as we perform a double runby alongside the Payette River. We have just reached the mountains and timber, the reason the railroad was built in the first place. (Photo by Ken Ziegenbein.) |

What a view! We are entering the Payette River Canyon
near Gardena, Idaho.

Located at milepost 66.83 is one of several large
bridges over the North Fork of the Payette River, a perfect place for
a double runby. Here is the shot from the bridge end. (Photo by Ken

Imagine getting this photo while cooling your feet in a mountain stream! That's exactly how this shot was made at Big Eddy, Idaho. (Photo by Ken Ziegenbein.) |

Don't believe us? Here is the proof as another runby
takes place - one of almost twenty made during a great day of train
riding.

If cooling your feet wasn't enough, there was a swinging bridge to cross for a shot from the far bank. Big Eddy, Idaho. (Photo by Ken Ziegenbein.) |
