The 'Idaho Narrow Gauge News' reaches two years of age

Greetings from the Emmett, Idaho headquarters of the I.N.G.N.

Welcome to the beginnings of our December 1901 issue. We seem to have become a quarterly magazine, but most of the articles are not quite ready to be published yet. All the older articles are available in our archives. The big news is that our founder is getting into the Model Railroad business, see the 'Hobby Shop' page.

Articles we are working on:

• Imaginary railroading on a large scale: The proposed route between Bugtown and Emmettsville (Caldwell and Emmett in modern parlance). 25 miles of 18-inch gauge mainline.
• Route map of the railroads of Cottonwood Hill Ranch
• Another 18-inch gauge railroad- in Oregon
• What will happen to our Southwest Idaho Branchlines without the mills?
• A brief history of 18-inch gauge railroad engineering

-The Chief

Our purpose:
For those of you who enjoyed our premier issue of some time ago (nearly two years!), we will attempt to keep up the same quality of reporting and commentary on things that are important to your life here at the beginning of this Twentieth Century. Our purpose is to inform in a way no one else in the territory is doing, in the classic style of the ninteenth century you have come to expect from us, without ever taking ourselves, or our readers, too seriously.

This is a labor of love, none expect to profit from this endevor, so please, your comments and compliments are sought and greatly apreciated, please keep them gentle and meaningful. We want more than anything to keep our railroads running, so that is our main priority (well that along with one-hundred fifty thousand other things, but I digress...) so this newspaper may not always be updated in a timely fashon, but we are sure you have other things to do for entertainment, and if you don't may we suggest a hobby? We really could use some career track maintainers and manual weed removal experts!

Our motto is: "The news on time, within a century or so." That should explain the timely dates on this page.
