Amtrak eyes Boardman depot as future stop for Pioneer
The old Union Pacific Rail
road depot at Boardman, now
boarded up, could become a
station stop for Amtrak pas
senger trains if the commu
nity desires it and there is
sufficient patronage.
Beverly Kyd of Boardman,
member of the Port of Morrow
Commission, raised the ques
tion last week at a meeting in
Hermiston with Arthur Lloyd
of San Francisco, western
region public affairs officer of
the National Railroad Passen
ger Corporation (AMTRAK).
Lloyd was guest speaker at
a meeting of the Transporta
tion Subcommittee of the East
Central Oregon Association of
Counties. Rod Aho of Heppner
is chairman of the committee.
The railroad official said the
passenger train, the Pioneer,
that serves eastern Oregon
will continue to operate for at
least two years.
This is because the people
made politicians aware of
their need for the train and by
riding it, he said.
The Pioneer operates from
Seattle to Salt Lake City by
way of Portland and Boise.
Patronage has risen 41 per
cent in the past year.
There is a routine station
stop at Hinkle, site of the big
Union Pacific yards near
Hermiston.
"Why not a routine stop at
Boardman?" Mrs. Kyd asked.
Turner board
adds member
The Lilian C. Turner Board
of Directors met at the home
of Jack Van Winkle Thurs
day morning for the purpose
of welcoming a new director,
Jo Irvin of Irrigon, and to elect
officers. Ervin Rauch named
as chairman and Jack Van
Winkle vice-chairman.
Three loans were granted at
this meeting to applicants
attending schools. The direc
tors expressed satisfaction
that the moneys are being
borrowed, as this is to help
deserving students further
their education and is loaned
at their discretion at a low
rate of interest.
Letters will soon be sent to
members asking to renew
their dues and anyone is
allowed to donate. The dues
are $3 a member. Those on the
board are Ervin Rauch, Jack
Van Winkle, Jo Irvin of
Irrigon, Clayton Davis of
Pendleton and an appointed
sec. Delpha Jones.

Parents invited

at lone Junior -Senior High
School on Monday, Oct. 15, at
8:30 a.m., and at Heppner
High School the same day at
10:30 a.m.
DMV office closed
The Department of Motor
Vehicles office in Heppner will
be closed today and tomorrow.
Next week, the DMV depart
met will travel to Fossil and
Condon Oct. 10 and 11 for
testing.
"The old depot at Boardman
has (restroom) facilities and
is quite clean," she commen
ted. This was in reference to the
Amtrak shelter at Hinkle that
lacks restrooms for waiting
passengers.
Lloyd said Boardman could
be considered for an Amtrak
stop if there were a request
submitted and a guaranteed
avaerage of at least six
passengers per day boarding
the trains. In addition, such a
stop should not add time to the
Pioneer's schedule.
"We change crews at Hin
kle, so Hinkle would continue
to be a stop," he said.
Aho commented later that
the East Central Oregon
Association of Counties might
consider requesting Amtrak to
make Boardman a station stop
for the trains.
After Lloyd's arrival at
Hinkle last Wednesday and
before his speech in Hermis
ton, he was taken to Board
man for an inspection of the
old depot, Aho said.
Lloyd commented that Hin
kle was not origianlly planned
as a passenger stop when
Amtrak originated the Pio
neer.
"Amtrak officials in the
East did not realize there were
towns nearby," he said.
Unmanned shelters were
spotted at a number of stops
along the Pioneer route for the
benefit of passengers. "Under
union rules," he added, "we
have to pay ticket clerks
$18,000 a year."
In other comments, he said
Amtrak is cooperating with
the Willamette Valley Rail
Study Committee that is con
sidering additional train ser
vice between Portland and
Eugene. Such trains would be
financed by 20 percent state
participation and an 80 per
cent federal subsidy. If the
service is established, ' the
Pioneer schedule might be
coordinated with arrivals and
departures at Portland, so
connections for Eugene would
be convenient.
