Jim and group,

From what I remember, the N&I had a pass track on the south side of
their main, the switch was just west of the switch to the interchange
switch. There also was an old sawmill east of this area that had a
spur, but as far as I know, was not used while I was around that area.

The CSP never went in on the N&I trackage. There was a "no engines
beyond this point" sign just past the clearance point to the CSP
switch. The CSP would hold on to empties and back in to couple to any
loads left by the N&I, pull them to the main and back the empties to
the interchange track. The N&I tried to always be there when the
setout was made and would grab the empties, drag them down their
main, run around them on the pass and head for Nezperce. I think the
interchange track was well over 500 feet long and if the N&I failed
to show up account a derailment or something, the CSP would only set
out what would clear.
When they were storing the RBOX cars, the N&I power stayed on the
west end and would couple to the empty cars, pull them to their main
and shove them to their destination.

As far as the two spurs serving the bulk plant, I guess I need to
look at the photo because I don't recall a second spur. There was a
dock on the south side east of the depot for unloading equipment (I
think it is still there) that was served by a spur that was an
extension of the pass track. The switch off the main to the pass was
nothing but a crossover with low stands at the time. If I remember, I
will look up the plans at the office in the morning and see if the
early prints show a second track.

I think that I saw a tank car in the bulk plant spur at least once
in my career, but it would have had to been in the late 1960s.
