Re: Siskiyou Line, Why Does it still exist?

The Siskiyou line was kept in place because of the lumber rates in effect at the time. The rates for traffic moving from Roseburg into CA were lower via the Siskiyou than through Eugene. They were mostly rates found in the PSFB Tariffs at the time. Roseburg was actually the sticking point as I recall. Once the rates were equalized it paved the way.
And in no way to contradict Dick Samuals ( he was there before I started working in the Shortline Group) we (SP) were spinning off branches long before the UP stepped in. At that time profitability was the key.
