          Up the Creek Column - 9
        
        
          17: John B. brings the Deschutes Express East off the
        
        
          steep 2.8% grade and into Oakhill on the main before
        
        
          proceeding to Salem.
        
        
          He'll be passing the Oakhill Turn, which is already at
        
        
          work in Oakhill. Normally, the OHT does all its work
        
        
          using the siding and wye track but staying off the main
        
        
          in Oakhill, so the DSXE should be able to run by without
        
        
          a problem.
