Dillon Reads Plans for New Short Line Depot
Reliable information from Dillon reports the Oregon Short Line will begin a modern depot project this year. General Superintendent Buckingham and officials inspected the division and vowed larger motive power to handle 1800 tons. A two block site near the present depot was narrowed to one block south from Montana Street. Construction aims to mirror the Nampa Idaho depot with a stone brick design and heating, at an estimated cost near $50,000. A formal conference with local merchants is planned next month to align yard and sidetrack changes with shipper needs.
