This round of updates completes the photographs provided by Wayne Monger, with these images focusing on the
Oregon Eastern Division of the Wyoming/Colorado Railroad. High Desert Rails also recently obtained a huge
collection of slides taken by the late John Henderson that feature many of the railroads covered in this
website. The first of these- images from the Condon, Kinzua & Southern Railroad- are included in this
round. The sheer volume of slides will keep us busy for years to come.
New pages in the Condon, Kinzua & Southern section:
Tracks in Thirty Mile Canyon
Tracks around Condon
Kinzua sawmill
Trackage around Kinzua Mill
Kinzua Enginehouse
Miscellaneous Maintenance-of-Way

In addition, the Condon, Kinzua & Southern/Kinzua Pine Mills front page has been extensively
re-worked, with much new information provided. Additional photos have also been added to the following
page:
Heisler #102
New pages in the Oregon Eastern Division of the Wyoming/Colorado Railroad section:

Updated pages in the Oregon Eastern Division of the Wyoming/Colorado Railroad section:

The long-promised Sumpter Valley page is likely to come next, although we admit we have said that before.
The remainder of the John Henderson slides cover a wide variety of subjects, including the City of Prineville,
Oregon California & Eastern, Union Railroad of Oregon, Klamath Northern, Mt. Emily Lumber, and a huge volume of work of the
Union Pacific in the Blue Mountains and on the Condon Branch.
Thank you for looking!
