Columbia Southern Ry.
The Columbia Southern Railway Company
came into existence in March 1897 with plans to build a line from the UP
mainline at Biggs Junction south into central Oregon. The first part of the
line, from Biggs Junction to Moro, was completed by December 1898. The new town
of Shaniko, 70 miles from Biggs Junction, was reached in May 1900. There were
many plans to extend the line south towards the Prineville area, but rough
country immediately south of Shaniko made further construction prohibitive.
Union Pacific provided most of the financing to build the railroad through its
Oregon Railway and Navigation Company subsidiary, and by 1906 the Columbia
Southern was fully controlled by the parent company.
Railroad headquarters were established in Shaniko, and the company built an
extensive shop complex that employed 80 people at one time. Shaniko was the
closest railhead to the vast expanses of central Oregon, and most of the trade
to and from the region passed over the rails of the Columbia Southern. The
busiest years of the railroad were 1910 and 1911, when UP relied on the railroad
to transport a lot of men and material on their way to help build the Des Chutes
Railway, which was battling with the Oregon Trunk Railroad for control of the
Deschutes River canyon. The completion of the joint Oregon Trunk/Des Chutes line
to Bend in 1911 diverted most of the through traffic off of the Columbia
Southern, and the line entered a steep period of decline.
Passenger service to Shaniko ended in 1936, and the line from Shaniko north to
Kent was abandoned in 1943. The line was further cut back to Grass Valley, and
all operations south of Biggs Junction ended in 1964/1965 when a flood in Hay
Canyon destroyed a large portion of the remaining line. The ICC granted
permission to abandon the last remnants of the Columbia Southern on 20 June 1967
