A group attempting to save the Camas Prairie RailNet line to Grangeville is down to one last option, according to Eric Phillips, community economic development director with the Clearwater Economic Development Association.

He is polishing a grant application for $50,000 to begin a viability study on the rail line.

“If we don’t get this money then we probably won’t be able to get rolling on this study in time to stop the abandonment,” he said. But he hopes any knowledge gained can be used on other lines should they meet the same fate as the Grangeville line.

“It is certainly a last-ditch effort,” Phillips said.
