The Idaho Northern & Pacific Railroad Company, a collection of four (4) former Union Pacific Railroad branch lines, is a 210 mile property operating in Idaho and northeast Oregon. Shipments are predominately timber and forest products, agricultural products, and chemicals. The INPR challenges even the most skilled engineer to conquer the steep grades required to move timber products from the mountains to the plains. With an infrastructure maintained to the exacting specifications of a Class 1, INPR assures a quality service and an assured delivery to all of its customers. 119 North Commercial, Emmett, ID 83617, Phone: (208) 365-6353 The Idaho Southern and Pacific Railroad is a proposed 15" gauge 5/12" scale miniature railroad modeled after narrow gauge logging/mining railroads from the late 1800's to early 1900's. The first equipment to be constructed is a small four wheel work Jimmie car. I plan on building several of these work cars. Next is the construction of a 0-4-0 steam locomotive and diesel mechanical work loco. The plan is to eventual turn the railroad into a commercial venture in a local park or recreation area. We will also be selling railroad related gifts and supplies.
