GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Make room for notes inspired by a railway that linked Spokane with Canada and the wider North American rail network. The Spokane International Railway began under an agreement with Canadian Pacific, later reorganized in 1941, and came under Union Pacific control in 1958. Its locomotives and cabooses kept SI lettering even as their appearance changed. This spiral notebook suits rail enthusiasts, collectors, students of transportation history, and anyone who enjoys keeping ideas close to a distinctive regional railroad story.
The Spokane International began as the Spokane International Railway, built by railroader Daniel Chase Corbin under an agreement with the Canadian Pacific Railway (CP). CP funded much of the construction and secured its loan by holding the new line’s bonds. Running from Spokane, Washington, to the CP at Kingsgate, British Columbia, the route connected with Union Pacific and helped CP compete for traffic between the Midwest and the Puget Sound area. The CP also controlled the Soo Line, linking the network to Minneapolis, Saint Paul, and Chicago. Passenger service included the Soo-Spokane Train De Luxe. After financial difficulties and receivership during the Great Depression, the railway was reorganized on October 1, 1941, and renamed the Spokane International Railroad under the restructuring agreement. Union Pacific took control on October 6, 1958, and continued to lease the line for operation. In 1962, UP leased the railway’s 11 ALCO RS-1 locomotives and sold it four steel cabooses; the equipment received UP yellow paint while retaining SI lettering. On December 31, 1987, UP formally merged the railway into its corporate structure. The line remains in operation as Union Pacific’s Spokane Subdivision, connecting southern British Columbia with the northwest United States.
