TODAY'S PHOTO
The SP had three branches in Oregon that went to the coast. This is the
"middle branch" that goes from Albany to Toledo.
It is now run by the Willamette & Pacific (Portland & Western) and called
the "Toledo Hauler." There is a big Georgia Pacific mill at the Toledo end.
Of those three branches this is the only one currently in operation, the
Tillamook Branch was flooded out and the Coos Bay branch was shut down
because of supposed tunnel issues.
Here is a shot of the "Hauler" setting out some cars at Eddyville, OR.,
twenty miles east of Toledo.
