Fire destroys coal chutes on Oregon Short Line
A fire last Monday morning damaged large coal chutes of the Oregon Short Line railroad as spontaneous combustion in coal cars started the blaze. Ira Harsh saved three full coal cars by backing his engine into the chutes and pulling burning cars to a water tank. The fire truck was inoperable at first and hydrants were frozen, delaying response until the hose could be run several blocks. Once water reached the scene, firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze, with estimated losses around $2,000.
