Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

The\u00a0Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad<\/b>\u00a0(OCSR<\/b>) is a heritage railroad, a 501(c) non-profit organization, <\/sup>operating in\u00a0Oregon, primarily between\u00a0Garibaldi\u00a0and\u00a0Rockaway Beach, with additional special trips to\u00a0Wheeler,\u00a0Nehalem River\u00a0and into the\u00a0Salmonberry River\u00a0canyon. The railroad travels on tracks that pass along the edge of\u00a0Tillamook Bay\u00a0and the Oregon Coast, and through thick forest along the Nehalem River.<\/sup>\u00a0The OCSR runs its collection of vintage rail equipment over 46 miles (74\u00a0km) of former\u00a0Southern Pacific Transportation Company\u00a0track under a lease from the\u00a0Port of Tillamook Bay Railroad\u00a0(POTB), an entity distinct from the OCSR.<\/sup><\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

During 2014 the OCSR has been in a series of legal challenges with the\u00a0State of Oregon\u00a0over their attempts to reconstruct track in the\u00a0Salmonberry River\u00a0corridor that had been damaged in winter storms of 2007.<\/sup>\u00a0The central issue was the OCSR’s work included placing rock fill on the bank of the river, for which they had not obtained state permits, potentially impacting native salmon and steelhead. OCSR’s position was that as a railroad, federal law exempted them from state environmental regulations. In March, 2015, a decision was reported that exempted the OCSR from the state regulations.<\/sup><\/span><\/p>\n

The railroad currently operates two\u00a0steam locomotives\u00a0in regular service. One of these is the Polson Logging No. 2, a\u00a02-8-2\u00a0type made by the\u00a0Baldwin Locomotive Works, and the other is the former\u00a0McCloud Railway\u00a0No. 25, <\/sup>a\u00a02-6-2\u00a0type made by the\u00a0American Locomotive Company. The 25 was used in the movie\u00a0Stand by Me<\/i>. Both engines were originally used in the early 20th century for logging.<\/span><\/p>\n
