Postcard of the railroad depots for the three trains that traveled through the town of Oakesdale, Washington at the turn of the century. They were all located near Oakesdale's southern city limits. The depot on the right is the Northern Pacific line (later the Burlington) which ran a branch line from Spokane to Lewiston, Idaho. The depot on the left is the Spokane and Inland Empire Electric Railroad line (later know as the Great Northern) which ran from Spokane to Moscow, Idaho. The Oregon, Washington Railroad Navigation Co. line (O.W.R.&amp; N) is the depot in the center. It became the Union Pacific branch line which ran from Ayer Junction, Washington to Spokane. All three railroads crossed each other in Oakesdale without gates or signals. This was one of only three such places in existence within the United States. The first train that arrived had the right of way and after stopping, proceeded on its way. Source: Oakesdale Memories by Alpha Study Club.</div>
