I was following the southern portion of the Westside Branch south of Corvallis, Oregon, on Google Maps, and noticed that the Dry Creek siding is gone. By the looks of the amount of vegetation that has grown over the old ROW, it was removed within the last ten years. Anyone know when it was ripped up? BTW, in SP days when Baldwin S-12s still ruled the land, this siding was used to store extra empties for the Corvallis switcher or Flynn/Monroe turns when needed.
