[CBQ] Oregon Question

[herrick@krausonline.com]

Group,

I'm going to launch a two or three-part question about rail operations in 
Oregon on the C&I back in the 50s and 60s based on conversations I had years 
ago with John Schmid and Rip Repetto. So here's part one with a bit of 
background.

While John said any of the freights could set or pick up, RR said that set outs 
and pick ups were handled mostly by #83 and PU. 83 would set out and pick up at 
Rochelle and Oregon, while the Oregon Turn worked every town west of Eola 
except Rochelle. He said the Oregon Turn sometimes would set out cars at 
Rochelle picked up along the way rather than drag them to Oregon and then back 
to Eola--83 picked up the westbounds at Rochelle and PU picked up the 
eastbounds.

So here's the first question: if 83 and PU set out and picked up at Oregon and 
the local Oregon job worked the City Track, Mt. Morris and National Silica, 
what did the Oregon Turn do at Oregon besides haul mail cars from Kable to Eola?

Rather than muddle up the message with too many questions, I'll hold the others 
for the moment.

Thanks!

Bob Herrick
