Current Projects

Phase 1 of restoration will focus on reinforcing the old foundation to stabilize the building and installing new roofing. Phase 1 of restoration will continue this summer when the current foundation will be reinforced, additional trusses installed and new flooring added in the Freight Room and Passenger Waiting Room. The project will be conducted by Institute Members and local volunteers. The Institute is working to preserve and rehabilitate the depot for educational use by student groups, researchers, and other citizen groups interested in learning about the history of the Oregon Short Line Railroad (OSL) and its impact on the local history.
