When i went caching around Idaho in November 2008, I really enjoyed
finding so many caches at these roadside markers. I passed this one
and saw there wasn't a cache, so I thought I'd keep the trend
going. I love a cache that lets me learn something. Please be
careful opening and replacing the cache. It's not in the most
secure place, and I'd hate to have this one go missing.
IDAHO's FIRST RAILROAD
Through this canyon once puffed the wood burning locomotives of the
narrow-gauge Utah and Northern Railway.
Construction undertaken by a Mormon Co-op came northward from a
junction with the transcontinental line, but stopped in 1874 at
Franklin on the Utah-Idaho border. Jay Gould, famous financier of
the Union Pacific, took over in 1877. Trains were passing here the
next summer, and the rails reached Montana in 1880. New life for
East Idaho followed the shrieking whistles of those little Utah and
Northern trains.
