North Beach Peninsula's IR&N pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
For nearly 40 years, the quirky little narrow-gauge railroad, begun in 1889 by the Ilwaco Railway and Navigation Company, ran along the North Beach Peninsula in southwestern Washington. The train provided the primary transportation link from Ilwaco in the south to Nahcotta in the north, making peninsula communities accessible to one another and supplying a reliable route to outside markets for the areaas major industriesaoystering, logging, and cranberry farming. A tide table, not a timetable, governed the railroadas schedule, allowing coordination with the steamers that met the train at either end of its daily journeys. Old-timers of the area still speak affectionately of the trainas unorthodox schedule and its informal and accommodating service. And they remember with fondness that the IR andN was widely known as the aIrregular, Ramblina and Never-get-there Railroad.a
