Elgin Proposal Aims For River Grade Wagon Road
Elgin business leaders push a plan to shorten the La Grande to Elgin wagon road by about three miles and place it on a river grade. The route would start at the Imbler road near the Rinehart crossing, cross McKinnin Bennett Hindman and Hallgarth ranches, run along the Grande Ronde river’s east bank, and enter Elgin from the east, replacing the Sandridge hills with a river-grade route.

Abandon Old Coal Chutes in Local Railroad Yards
After years of service the old coal chutes in the railroad yards are abandoned for traveling coal chutes. Engines are now supplied with coal from traveling pockets loaded by a traveling crane, simplifying spotting engines and reducing labor.
Chute Demolition Planned to Expand Yard Space
The plan envisions tearing down old chutes to create more yard area. The move aims to provide additional outdoor space and potential room for new uses.
