UP owns at least the first couple of miles from Eugene to Danebo and some kind of interest in the CoosBay bridge although they may have "donated" it to the state or whoever has the deep pockets to maintain it. I believe UP also owns the section from Coos Bay to Coquille and CORP leases it.
ODOT's involvement with the short lines is a moving target; he who cries loudest sometimes gets noticed; OPR chooses to quietly do its thing and hopefully doesn't get noticed!
