Excerpt from The Rawhide Railroad

This is a story of a remarkable steam rail road actually constructed and successfully opera ted in the beautiful Walla Walla Valley many years ago, on which rawhide, overlaying wooden beams, was used in place of iron or steel rails. This unique road, later modernized, is now oper ated as part of a large railway. It is doubtful, however, if through the roll of years, the chang ing managements of the big line have preserved either record or recollection of the once famous rawhide railroad, which was the germ of the pres ent transportation system.
