The old lone Railroad Depot was moved from its familiar
location close to the Union Pacific railroad tracks recently by
Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Peterson who plan to convert the early
structure into a home above Horeshoe Bend 6 miles away.

One of Ione's landmarks,
the Jone Railroad Depot, has
been moved from its location
in the city limits six miles
away to await relocation on a
hill above the highway at
Horseshoe Bend.
An lone couple, Mr. and
Mrs. Marvin Peterson, plan to
convert the early 1900's struc
ture into a home filled with the
antiques they have collected
and with the help of friends,
moved the structure about
three weeks ago.
Mrs. Peterson said Louis
Halvorsen and his sons, Frank
and Joe, directed the moving
operation of the heavy struc
ture with a loan of a low-boy
from Keith Rea and a truck to
haul it from Paul Tewes.
Halvorsen is also the principal
planner of ways to move the
two halves of the depot up on
the Peterson's hilly building
site.
The city of lone had
originally hoped to purchase
the depot and convert it into a
museum at the city park but
Mayor Linda LaRue, said the
city couldn't afford the $8,000
for a bonded mover and the
$20,000 to $25,000 necessary to
move it. The Union Pacific
Railroad had offered the
structure free of charge to the
city.
The depot was put up for bid
and the Petersons decided to
purchase the historic building
which is registered with the
Oregon Historical Society.
Mrs. Peterson and her
husband, an industrial arts
teacher, purchased the depot
in January and February and
hope to leave the exterior
intact. They plan to build a
deck around the sides and
renovate the interior.
To move the heavy struc
ture from its old location, the
depot had to be cut in half,
says Mrs. Peterson.
Some long-time residents of
lone watching the moving
operation had tears in their
eyes thinking of the memories
attached to the landmark, but
Mrs. Peterson noted that most
were glad to see it put to use
rather than salvaged for
scrap.
The original lone sign and
elevator marker will hang on
the exterior when fully restor
ed. Mrs. Peterson said she was
excited about the prospect of
the restoration project and
was pleased with the com
munity's assistance in helping
the family move the structure.
Mrs. Vera Rietmann said
Tuesday that a photograph
taken of the city in 1900
showed no railroad station but
that it had been at the same
location ever since she could
remember, estimating the
date it was built at before 1905.
The Petersons have already
toured the restored depot
home in the Boardman area
constructed by Rupert Kennedy.
Railroad hobbyist happy
to see Brock Adams fired
"I was happy to see Adams
go down the tube," Rod Aho
told the Heppner Chamber of
Commerce at its regular
Monday meeting at the West
of Willow Restaurant.
Aho, customer services rep
resentative for Columbia
Basin Electric Co-op and
member of three consumer
organizations in support of
preserving and improving
railroad transportation, said
he was pleased about Presi
dent Carter's acceptance of
Brock Adam's resignation as
head of the Department of
Transportation.
In a letter written July 20, to
the President, Aho urged
removal of Adams from his
office.
"Mr. Adams has contri
buted heavily to the erosion of
public confidence in your
administration," Aho said,
charging that the former
cabinet official "has lied to the
public about Amtrak's current
ridership, the DOT has closed
its eyes to recent trends in
ridership on Amtrak, has
adopted a policy of downplay
ing Amtrak statistics which
tend to show that trains
scheduled to be dropped are in
fact experiencing huge in
creases in ridership and the
DOT has even stopped official
announcements in some
cases, misrepresented Am
trak's losses to Congress by
quoting fully allocated loss
figures for various routes
instead of avoidable loss
figures, ignoring overwhelm
ing public support in favor of
retained Amtrak service,
quoted obsolete statistics
about Amtrak's fuel efficiency
to 'prove' that Amtrak is an
energy waster," and offered
several other reasons.
As a member of the Oregon
and National Association of
Rail Passengers, Aho says he
enjoys riding trains as a hobby
and during recent hearings
held in Pendleton to consider
the fate of Amtrak's Pioneer
service from Portland to
Seattle and Boise to Salt Lake
City, he testified in favor of
retention of service.
The Pioneer service will be
terminated October 1 by the
Dopartment unless Congress
acts to suspend the executive
action. A number of bills have
been introduced including
proposed legislation by Sen.
Frank Church, D-Idaho, to
prevent cutbacks in the Pio
neer system.
Aho urged chamber mem
bers to write their Congress
man and Senators to prevent
the dismantling of the Pioneer
system, charging the DOT'S
decision making was not
logical. He said the transpor
tation department used 1977
ridership statistics and some
trains were showing ridership
increases.
He felt the reasons why the
Pioneer system was being
threatened was because the
politicians in the areas affect
ed were less powerful includ
ing Congressman Duncan,
Ullman and Sen. Hatfield and
