Merlo bus garage, former connection to P&W Railroad. |

Just east of this station is a connection
with the Portland & Western Railroad. The connection is NOT permanent for
FRA regulations. This connection is only used to accept delivery of new
LRV's as they arrive. For the original Bombardier cars were delivered to
Ruby Jct via the Portland traction, but that line was torn up in the early
90's, necessitating this connection. UPDATE: 1/2009, the connection is now
gone, P&W is ripping up all the tracks in the area.
