The traffic between the pacific coast and points east have 2-3 routes to follow, but between Spokane, Washington and Sandpoint, Idaho, all BNSF traffic follow the old Northern Pacific line. This stretch is also called "The Funnel". You can get more information about the funnel and other places on http://www.pnwrailfan.com/ and http://westernrailroads.com/.
