Local entities face hefty ﬁ nes for polluting HERMISTON HERALD By TAMMY MALGESINI COMMUNITY EDITOR A pair of retired Union Paciﬁ c Railroad employees invites people to visit the Maxwell Siding Railroad Museum. Located next to Herm- iston’s Hodge Park, 100 W. Highland Ave., Con- nie Maret and John Spin- den welcome visitors to the museum each Sat- urday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. There is no admis- sion charge, but donations are accepted. In addition, they are willing to open the museum on other days or for special events. Both octogenarians, Maret and Spinden — who collectively put in more than 87 years at the railroad — enjoy sharing about their days working at the railroad, as well as pro- viding information about the railroad’s history in the area. Cory Reasor said volun- teers assisted with a June 15 cleanup effort around the museum. He said with Maret and Spinden both in their 80s, it’s difﬁ cult for them to maintain upkeep by themselves. In addition to clearing weeds, recent grafﬁ ti was removed, Reasor said. Also, Rea- sor recently started help- ing with a Facebook page about the museum. “I thought it would help in bringing more attention to the museum,” he said. “Not a lot of local people really know about it.” Bill Sheller, a member of Three Rivers Model T Ford Club, manned a bar- becue on June 20 at the museum site. Members of the Model T club received ﬁ rst-class treatment from Maret and Spinden, as they showed off different equip- ment before enjoying lunch at the museum. Sheller, who retired after 31 years with the railroad, said it’s nice to have people learn more about railroad history. The museum utilizes rails from an old siding site that pre-dates Herm- iston’s incorporation. In addition to a 1913 George Pullman dining car, the museum grounds feature a pair of rotary snowplows, including one that was steam-powered. The site also includes more than six motorcars, a telegraph ofﬁ ce and a 1912 passen- ger coach full of railroad memorabilia. The museum was founded in the mid-1980s. Former municipal Judge John Bennett said it would provide an opportunity for residents and visitors to gain a further glimpse into the region’s railroad history. For more information or to schedule a special tour, call Spinden at 541-571- 8620, 541-567-3759 or Maret at 541-567-8532.
