Re: Railroads originally built as dual gauge?

Probably about 2 miles of the SVRy were dual gauge early on. The SVRy Baker depot and transfer track with OWRR&N were on the west side of Baker some distance from the S.Baker location of the Oregon Lumber Co. and the yard/shop/round house area. This required a substantial amount of dual gauge. I was just looking at a set of 1913 SVRy freight rate documents. I noted that there was at least one receiver, an ore sampling works that received Std. ga. cars via the SVRy dual gauge. There were likely a few other shipper/receivers that were cut off from direct access to the std. ga. OWR&N by the SVRy running just to the S.W. of the std. ga. mainline. McKim's a foundary and machine shop was likely one of these.
