Boise Valley Railroad
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On 23 November 2009, the railroad began operations, running over an 11 miles (18 kilometres) line between Wilder and Caldwell and a 25-mile(40 km) line between Nampa and Boise, with the two lines connected via trackage rights on the Union Pacific.[1] Watco purchased the line from Idaho Northern & Pacific Railroad. Watco took over operations and leased the line to Union Pacific. Operations for both branches are based at Nampa Yard in Nampa where cars are interchanged to the Union Pacific.
As of August 2015, the railroad served around 60 clients and operated once a day on each weekday.[2]

The Wilder Branch begins at Caldwell and goes west to Wilder and switches between several packing houses. The branch is 11 miles long.
