Oil Burners Move On Line Through Blue Mountains
Officials of the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company announce a shift to oil burning on the western end and a final tank added beyond Umatilla. Coal will fuel the east end to Huntington as loaded traffic from the east allows revenue on the last stretch. Pumps at tanks and depots increase costs along with transport, while pumps must operate at all tanks. The Southern Pacific will be fully oil fired to avoid any cinder issue on the Portland to coast route. R and N laments coal shortages in eastern Oregon towns but expects coal use to drop next season.
