Additional Property Attributes

POBT Zone 5, Property 17, consists of 20.77 acres located in BNSF Railway Company's Right-of-Way. BNSF�s ROW brownfields assessment is supported by the Pend d�Oreille Bay Trail POBT Brownfields Assessment Coalition which includes DEQ and the Cities of Kootenai, Ponderay, Sandpoint, and Bonner County. This assessment is critical because it will answer the question of what, if any, remaining environmental conditions exist from the former NP Roundhouse, Coal Chute and Car Shop. Additionally, the Kootenai parcel assessment is important in that it expands the connectivity for the proposed Pend d�Oreille Bay Trail corridor ultimately linking the three communities of Kootenai, Ponderay, and Sandpoint, Idaho and providing shoreline public access.

Former Use: POBT Zone 5, Property 17, consists of 20.77 acres located in BNSF Railway Company's Right-of-Way. In 1908, Northern Pacific Rail Road purchased 14 acres from the Humbird Lumber Company to build their new division point. The division point included a roundhouse, coal chute, stock yards, depot, and Beanery. In 1910, NPRR completed its Car Shop on what is now known as POBT Zone 5 Properties 16 and 18. Opened in 1910 as part of the new NP division point, the car shop was used for building and repairing freight cars until it was closed in 1914. As many as 150 men were employed in the shop, who in turn inspected and repaired as many as 1400 freight cars in a month. The shop was briefly reopened in 1922. Six years later (1929) the building was dismantled and moved in pieces to Pasco, Washington where it was rebuild for use in the Northern Pacific yards at that location. Presently, a portion of this right of way is being proposed as a greenbelt path between the Kootenai acces end and the Pend d'Oreille Bay Trail.
