This site features daily historical railroad posts from the Big Bend/Columbia Plateau region of Washington state. As a personal site, this is my online filing cabinet of interesting things I've come across about railroading in the area. Thanks for stopping by!

Bruce Cheever's 1949 thesis, "The Development of Railroads in the State of Washington 1860 to 1948" does not list this name.

Cheever does list the one you named, and mentioned it was to be an electric railway. He says it was never constructed. Date of 1911.
