Sounds like the system tie gang will be busy!

At least two miles worth, maybe three.

There is a detector at 725 that talks and another one south of it that talks on defect only.

First thing noticeable in Salem was a late (about 3:30) #14. Then we heard #11 was held in Portland. Then #11 moved to Oregon City. #14 stayed in Salem until #508 was due (5:10) and then it moved north to Labish. #14 passengers to #28 had gotten on one of the Oregon Cascade busses. #508 came in and sat. #14 was talking about hours of service so Portland sent a relief crew, aiming at Labish in 5:00 rush hour traffic. The problem freight got to moving and went to Gervais. #14 got to moving with the plan of relief crew in Oregon City instead of Labish. #508 followed. #11 had moved south to Hito and met both #14 and #508. Don't know where #507 met both north bounds. #507 was almost an hour late into Salem. #11 is now having its problems getting into Eugene with another freight blocking the main north of Eugene.

When #11 left Salem they were going to come close to hours of service at K Falls. Looks like they won't make it. Even so, they won't have their hours of rest at K Falls in time to bring tomorrows #14 north. Look for a late #14 into Portland tomorrow.

#14 had one private car and #11 had two.

One last thing is a sb "Z" following #507.
