GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Share a lasting railroad story with a young fan of trains and regional history. Spokane International Railway joined Spokane to the Canadian Pacific at Kingsgate, connecting a locally built line to a broader network. After Union Pacific took control, the railway's SI identity still showed on locomotives and cabooses, even when their paint changed. This youth hoodie celebrates that memorable chapter and the line's continuing life as the Spokane Subdivision, for school days, rail outings, and family trips.
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.
