Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last half of the 19th century was typified by tycoons and shrewd railroad barons. A key figure in the development of the Spokane International Railway was James Jerome Hill, or simply Jim Hill. Spokane businessmen regarded Hill as a tyrant and considered his Great Northern and Northern Pacific railroads unwelcome monopolies in Northeast Washington and the Idaho Panhandle. In 1905, Daniel Chase "D.C." Corbin broke the Hill lines' stronghold by forming the Spokane International Railway as a 140-mile rail line from Spokane, Washington, to Eastport, Idaho, to interchange traffic from the Canadian border to the Pacific. Today, the route continues to be profitable under Union Pacific Railroad ownership with commodities shipped to Western markets via the Canadian Pacific Railway. This book shares the story of the Spokane International Railway and traces its international and local connections with every major railroad in the Pacific Northwest.

Book excerpt: "There once was a lonely but proud little Class l railroad that ran from Spokaneup through the Northern Idaho Panhandle to Eastport, Idaho/Kingsgate, B.C.,where it connected with a branch line of the CPR." That is how Larry Shawver,the railfan and author begins the first of fourteen short essays written during the 1970s.Through these writings we catch a glimpse of rail photographers that is not usually recognized for what they are; historical artifacts not only of the Spokane International Railway story,but also the story of the life of Larry Shawver. These essays cover not only the history of the Spokane International, but also touch much of the daily operations of the S.I. during the period of the 1920s thru 1940s.He talks about the love of his life and the death of his wife in an automobile accident.He writes in second person, often referring to himself as "the kid", recounting growing up"on the farm" and the pain he felt when his father "burned" him by selling the farm rightfrom under him; his high school escapades and descriptions of the mournful sounds of the individual Spokane International steam engines are all covered in his writings. The words in this book are the way that Larry Shawver wrote them, I did not changeny of the spelling or grammar; they are copied just as Mr, Shawver penned them;in fact Essay Fourteen is an actual copy of the typewritten pages that he wrote. I hope you enjoy Larry Shawver and his many stories from an era long gone.Here is presented to you, the Spokane International of Larry Shawver in words and photographs. This Spokane International Railway book is not a comprehensive or corporate history. It highlights with words and a few of the over 3,000 photographsof Larry Shawver, one the most ardent chroniclers of this relatively small railroad in Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho. His photographs are almost legend, but few have ever read the stores of the man behind the camera.
