Big Creek & Telocaset

Odd little railroad that connected a lumber mill to the Union Pacific Blue Mountains mainline at Telocaset in NE Oregon.

Read all about it here: http://www.trainweb.org/highdesertrails/bct.html

The website says loaded trains had to climb a 5% grade. (!)

Trivia: Up until very recently, folks living around Telocaset depended on a Union Pacific water well as their water source. (2017 article)
