The remains of the Rutledge climax were not "lost". Locals in the No. Idaho and Spokane area are well aware of it's existance! The town I think you are refering to is Burke Idaho, just north of Wallace. Not much remains to be able to place where the photos were taken. Heavy snowfall aparently has caved in what few buildings remain aside from the mine facilities. The mine is closed, although I don't remember how long. The NP branch is gone, and the UP branch to the silver valley is now a bike path. There are no tracks to the silver valley at this point, and no remaining right of way. If you are in the area, be sure to check out the NP depot in Wallace. The locals moved the brick depot to prevent destruction when the freeway came through a few years ago. |
