Historical Context
The Idaho & Washington Northern was created in 1907 by Frederick Blackwell, to reach timberland.
Construction started in early 1907 and the line from McGuire's, Idaho to Newport was completed in late 1907. The line from Newport to Metaline Falls was completed in 1911.
The railroad was short lived as it quickly began losing money due to the recession. In 1916 Blackwell relinquished control of the railroad to the Milwaukee Road as they agreed to take all debts owed by the I&WN.
The line became the MILWs Metaline Falls Branch after it was acquired.
Some of the communities served by the line included Rathdrum, Spirit Lake, Coleman, Blanchard, Dalkenna, Usk and Ione.
