The Eastport-Kingsgate Border Crossing connects the town of Bonners Ferry, Idaho with Yahk, British Columbia on the Canada–US border. The Spokane International Railroad first crossed the border at this location in 1906, connecting Spokane with the Canadian Pacific Railway. Canada built its first border station at Kingsgate later that year. This crossing is open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
History
Canada's depression-era wooden border station was replaced with a brick border station in 1956, which was replaced with the current concrete and steel structure in 2012. The US Customs Service operated out of space it rented in the railroad depot until it built its first border station on property it purchased from John Sims for $1,150 in 1936. The border station was replaced by the current facility in 1988.
