WCTU Railway #5117 was the next to be loaded.
And to be more specific, WCTU interchanges with CORP off the former 5.8-mile SP White City Branch, which connects with the CORP's ex-SP Siskiyou Line at Tolo, about five miles north of Medford on I-5.- Tony J. Edited 1 times.
In my earlier post I mentioned that the two ex-SP 70-ton GEs owned by WCTU Railway (formerly known as White City Terminal and Utility Railway) have been sold to the Modesto and Empire Traction Company.

 PNWC-NRHS Regional Railroad History
The WCTU Railway serves an industrial area near White City, linking it to the outside world.
United Railways operated one streetcar line, industrial trackage in Portland, and a logging and passenger line from northwest Portland to Banks, Vernonia, Keasey and beyond.
The Oregonian was an early attempt at trying to compete with the Oregon and California in the Willamette Valley, as well as provide transportation to those cities that were being ignored.

 SSAM 49006 Text
One likely explanation is that the WCTU Railway had sold some of that WCTR series, though the cars had already been reported for inclusion in the January 1999 ORER, while at the same time, the Saulte Ste.
Because that ORER still listed under the WCTU Railway Company 228 cars in the WCTR 101250-101499 series (out of an original 250).
But when I started checking the numbers of cars listed in my January 1999 ORER, these figures indicated that those original 250 WCTR 101250-101499 cars couldn't even be the basis of those SSAM 101250-101499 cars, even though I'd decoded WCTR reporting marks from those 2 KarTrak labels.

Nick Mermigas, Director, Marketing & Administration, WCTU Railway: For my money, the most important idea that I can advance is to keep a good handle on railcar repair issues.

 CAC Manuscripts: MS 216
The Ohio WCTU was organized in June 1874, at Springfield; in November of that year the National Women's Christian Temperance Union was officially organized at a convention in Cleveland; and the World WCTU was founded in Philadelphia in 1885.
One exception to these reports is a printed booklet on the 80th Ohio WCTU Convention in 1953 that gives a detailed description of the Ohio WCTU for that year.
Contains reports from a number of Ohio counties that detail what WCTU publications are being used by the local chapters and how much literature they distributed.

 Handbook of Texas Online: WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN TEMPERANCE UNION
By the 1930s the WCTU, like prohibition, had lost its progressive image: temperance women devoted themselves to polling political candidates for their views on alcohol; campaigning for "drys"; and protesting cigarette advertising, gambling, bathing-beauty contests, and suggestive motion pictures.
The WCTU operated through departments of work, the number of which fluctuated over the years but averaged two dozen.
Focusing on the drinking man's neglect and abuse of his wife and children and speaking as "organized motherhood," the WCTU promoted an agenda of social-welfare reforms and asked for woman suffrage

 1976-1919 << John Barleycorn Must Die << Old State House Museum
While women in the state had the right to petition to halt liquor sales within three miles of a school, the WCTU unsuccessfully lobbied to allow women to vote in the local option elections that determined whether a township would go "dry." It would fall to men to banish Barleycorn.
Yet the WCTU leaders recognized their "Do Everything" goal was hampered by the lack of voting rights for women.
The national WCTU was the largest and most influential women's organization in the nineteenth century.
