SP memory to chill with
Author: WestinAshahr

This scene should cool you down... returning to Albany, OR the Wrens Turn arrives at the west end of Ashahr siding on an icy, late afternoon January in 1982.

Hmm.  That place looks really familiar ('cept for the snow).
I wonder if that covered hopper was picked up at the Dynamite Spur at "Noon?"

It would bet it was.  Until they made it illegal, we'd roll empties out of the spur onto the main to save a run around move.  Did it once or twice, IIRC, but then we rarely if ever went all the way to Wrens when I worked the Corvallis Local for that shortline.
