PASSENGER & STREETCARS

This streetcar was built for the Washington Water Power Co. by J.G. Brill in 1906. It became part of the Spokane United Railways system when the street car lines of WWP and Spokane Traction Co. were consolidated. From about 1938, two years after street car use was discontinued in Spokane, until the 1960s, it served as a restaurant in Chewelah, Wash. It was donated to the IERHS in 1979.

CABOOSES

Built in about 1941 by the Great Northern Railway’s St. Cloud shops, it is typical of G.N.’s tongue and groove siding, 30-foot cabooses. Most were made with wood tongue-and-groove strips; some were made with plywood. The final cars were all steel. IERHS purchased the caboose, at the time painted B.N. green and numbered B.N. 11242, and moved it to the fairgrounds. It is restored to a G.N. 1940s color scheme.
