- Limitations
- The Oneyana line was read in NHHC's indexed page extract; direct page retrieval failed during this batch, so full-page context was not independently inspected. This roster is not a construction, machinery, asbestos, or individual exposure record. It supports only the indexed 1945 designation and assignment.

- Limitations
- The PDF was blocked to direct retrieval (HTTP 403); the row was checked in its indexed extract only. 'Removal' is not independently established as an out-of-service or striking date. The reported 1962 service end and August 1963 disposal authorization remain unverified against an accessible official primary record. 'UNK' gives no final fate and supplies no asbestos evidence.
