@@searchingforhistory There is wolf haven a couple miles out of town.And of course Oregon trail days is a big celebration every summer at the end of July.
@@donnaroush1132 We have a white german shepherd that we like to think of as our "house woof." Wolf haven might actually make for a fun video. I wonder if they allow video...? Thanks for the idea!
The depot was moved from the other side of town in 74.Had alot of wheels under it.The quarry at the west end of town had a mushroom growing operation next to it for awhile. Long building with rows of tables made out of old growth cedar. On the hill above the quarry pool there's a pit made from sandstone that held water .
@searchingforhistory Behind the gas station at the end of town heading toward grandmound.Lived here for over 60 years so I've got a pretty good assortment of stories.
Oldtimers tell me that the cupola on a caboose was used to look for overheating bearing boxes like the ones on this one's wheels. If you looked up toward the locomotive and saw smoke coming out from under a car, you knew you had a problem. I don't know how they communicated that to the engineer.
You guys are a bit shy , had you stopped in to the Landmark or the restraunt a few doors down you may have learned a few more things to share . Like , they still use the wooden money and 10-9-0 ????
My home town,went to school here and currently live in town.
Cool. Is there anything around there that we missed and should have visited in the video? Thanks for watching!

@@philmuxen3454 Interesting, where exactly was the original location of the depot? Thanks for watching!

@@philmuxen3454 Interesting. thanks for sharing that bit of information about the depot.

I wonder, did they have a loud horn or whistle? Perhaps they had a visual signal that could be seen from the engine in a mirror? I am speculating!
I've been living here since mid-2019
Tenino is a nice little town. Thanks for watching!

I won't argue about the shy part. We find running a camera makes many people uncomfortable. Did not know they still use the wooden money. 🙂
10 9 0 what?
Apparently there is a unsupported theory that a train that used to run through Tenino was called the 10-9-0.
