RAILROAD REVIEW
It is reported that citizens of
Shaniko have decided to enter a
protest against the recent deci
sion of the Interoate Coirtmere«
Commission in the Shaniko bran
ch abandonment case. The protest
it ia understood, will be merely
to have the railroad retained un
til the 1943 crop has been haul
ed out.
We think that a sensible effort
and one that hae every chance
of being achieved.
Judging from the figures con
tained in the decision o f the ICC
that agency .has pretty well estab
lished the costa and revenues ob
tained from the two sections of
the bind: from Biggs to Grass Val
ley and from Grass Valley to
Shaniko. It was the commission's
opinion, based on their figure»,
that the north end of the line had
made money consistently—with the
exception of one year when little
wheat was shipped.
The cosnrnis^on also discovered
that the south end of the Yoad
was not profitable
Yet it held
that the line should be kept to
Kent because th e re w as definite
need for It to haul out farm pro
ducts and because thia part of the
line might prove profitable in or
dinary yean .
Residents of this section know,
and evidence submitted at the
bearing and not refuted, shows
that the line between Kent »nil
Shaniko ia more ' expensive to
maintain than that between Kent
and Grass Valley. Thia ia true
because of the numerous bridges.
Breaking the costs and receipts
from the line into sections was
asked of the Union Pacific by
the ICC. By this means It was
discovered what part of the line
was economically justified. Other
parts of the line will he abandoned
and the rails used in other places
if usable at all. Thus the position
of the remainder of the line is
strengthened and further attempts
to remove It will probably not
be made as long as it ia need con
sistently by the residents of the
county.
The effort of the people of
Shaniko to keep the bine until this
crop has been moved out has a
good chance of success because
it is unreasonable to believe that
the Union Pacific will pull up
nails when wheat ia ready to be
shipped out over them. The coop
eration o f the Commodity Credit
corporatien could certainly be
enlisted to aid in moving the wheat
shortly after it has been w are
housed. .
There is certain to be some dis
appointment over any decision
that did not result in a complete
victory for the county- We all
hate to lose anything we have
become used to using. Yet, the
decision is more favorable to the
cdunty than could have been ex
pected at the time the fight be
gan.
Not only wae the county faced
with a fight on the petition tar
abandonment before the Interstate
Commerce Commission, but at the
same time had to fight a requisi
tion by the War Production
Board. The railroad company used
the requisition to aid its case and
the requisition, therefore, he'd to
be decided first.
This was the first railroad in
the United States that was sav
ed from the War Production
Board which waa at that time
in dire need of rails and steel
«scrap far war materials. Only a
showing of the need for m il
transportation to move the large
amount of grain grow n hi this
county to feed markets and the
active aid of Oregon’s senators
and congressmen, made a victory
possible
