SynopsisThis is the story of the early railroads in Whatcom County, the furthest northwest county in the State of Washington. Whatcom County is bordered on the west by Rosario Straight and the Pacific Ocean and on the north by Canada. Four transcontinental railroads would eventually serve Whatcom County, the Canadian Pacific, the Northern Pacific, the Great Northern and the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad. Before these large railroads reached Whatcom County, four small railroads were incorporated in the county, the Bellingham Bay & British Columbia, the Bellingham Bay Railroad and Navigation Company, the Fairhaven & Southern and the Bellingham Bay & Eastern Railroad. This not just the story of the building of these railroads, but includes all the politics and real estate speculation involved as the major transcontinental railroads moved westward. And, we share how the railroads impacted the communities that they served. We hope you enjoy his wonderful story, yes about the railroads but even more about the people of that era who, like so many people from so many places built the society we enjoy today.
