Geocache Description:

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.
