Nice shots of part of Oregon !
The State of Maine car is a newsprint/paper car headed for Kable(note the
plug door). Also of special interest is that this car is resting opposite the
switch for the "Dining car track". If you open the 6/62 shot looking east over
the locomotive the dining car track is straight ahead;the MT Morris main
takes a slight jog to the left and then continues down in front of the depot
and
connects back to the main at the east end where the "river track" came off.
The cars at the Redi mix appear to be open hoppers of sand or gravel. At one
time this was an everyday scene at redi mix plants everywhere. Into the 70's
we were still handling gravel out of Sheridan,IL to various redi mix plants
around Northern ILL. Keller Heart at Clarendon Hills would receive several
cars a day.
