Lovingly referred to in our family as <BR>> "the Slow, Poor & Stingy". After the war he was a lineman on the railroad <BR>> and we lived in a converted caboose. It was quite nice. There was another <BR>> car behind us where my mother cooked for the crew. Guess we were really one <BR>> of the "box car" kids before the books. We lived on the Wn side of the <BR>> Columbia in little places (then) like Walla Walla, Wishram, Plymouth. We'd <BR>> take the ferry across the river to buy groceries and some times I'd get a <BR>> ride to school on the "speeder car". <BR>> We lived about 10 feet of the main line,we had a "path", and no running <BR>> water. When it was time to move, an engine would pull us down to the next <BR
>> job side track. Once we actually lived in a one room railroad house, again <BR>> about 10 feet from the tracks. The window box was the refrigerator and <BR>> when it froze outside the milk cream would push the paper cap about an inch <BR>> beyond the bottle. We lived on the railroad the year the Columbia froze. <BR>> We moved to San Diego the year dad got frost bite from being stuck out in a <BR>> storm for several hours. Lots of fond childhood memories. <BR>> <BR>> Renne' in Eugene <BR>> <BR>> Original Message ----- <BR>> From: "Bernard Verbout" <BEACHBUMBERNIE@EARTHLINK.NET><BR>> To: <OR-ROOTS@SOSINET.SOS.STATE.OR.US><BR>> Sent: Wednesday, September 13, 2006 9:27 PM <BR>> Subject: [or-roots] An SP&S Train Depot <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> > <BR>> > This email where someone is looking for information about a train <BR>> > depot got me to thinking about my deceased Father in Law who was an <BR>> > employee of the
