Regarding use in the USA, I don’t have a good handle on the traffic flows, but very broadly speaking, I think the gons might have had use moving minerals (coal or more valuable) from the BC Kootenay area mine region into US customers. So Spokane wouldn’t be a long shot for that sort of traffic given its proximity to central BC. Rob
