Harriman Official» Favor
Redmond for Rail­
road Center
FOR
“ Redmond, it is expected, will
be the center for extensive rail­
road developments the coming
summer and even a longer per­
iod by the Harriman system that
will reach all parts of the state
that are now without and in need
of railroad connections.”
The above is what has been
given out by an official who is in
close touch
with the policy
o f the Harriman people.
The line from Redmond to Odell
—on the Natron-Klamath cut-off
of the Southern Pacific— has been
projected and is included in the
list o f improvements authorized
by the Eastern men last week.
That this will be built within the
next few years is the belief of
well posted railroad men.
According to plans already out­
lined in the executive office of
the company the proposed line
from Vale, in the eastern part of
the state, to the Southern Pacif­
ic, also is expected to connect
with Redmond.
In building south from the
I Columbia River the Harriman
line occupies the east side c f the
Deschutes River, while the Hill
road is built on west bank. At a
point 71 miles south o f the Co­
lumbia the Hill system crosses to
the east side and for ten miles
both lines will operate over a
joint set of rails.
At the 81-mile post the two
lines branch out again and run
over separate tracks to Culver
Junction, 130 miles south o f the
Columbia. From Culver Junc­
tion to Redmond the grading has
been completed and track-laying
depends upon the time the bridge
across the Crooked River is fin­
ished.
Construction trains alone are
now operating from the 0.,-W .
R. & N. Co. line to Willow Creek,
but as soon as the road to Red­
mond is completed a regular
freight and passenger service
will be placed in effect. It is yet
too early to determine the time
when Redmond will be reached,
but Portland Harriman officials
are confident that they will be
able to operate into that city ear­
ly in the summer.

This company is operating au­

and connect with the Buckley

from this city, and quick time is
made. The company also has a
line o f autos operating between
this point and Shaniko.
It is
the policy of the company to ac­
commodate the travelling public,
and they will take passengers
