St. Maries River Railroad, STMA 101 running long hood forward leads a W/B train of 16 carloads of finished lumber and plywood for interchange with the Union Pacific at Plummer Junction, ID on July 29, 1994. The STMA 101 is crossing Lake Benewah near Ramsdell, ID on the former Milwaukee Road mainline.
The plywood and most of the finished lumber on this train came from Potlatch Forests, while some of the finished lumber came from the Regulus Stud Mill in Milltown on the east side of St. Maries. 
STMA 101 is a rebuilt GP9 built for the Milwaukee Road built in April of 1959 as the Milw 292. It was rebuilt by MK in 1981 for the STMA.
