Central Oregon & Pacific RR

The Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad operates the Siskiyou Line from Springfield Jct. (Eugene), Oregon to Black Butte,California and the Coos Bay Line from Eugene to Coquille, Oregon. Both of these lines are former Southern Pacific branches which were sold off at the end of 1994. (Until the opening of the Natron Cutoff in 1926, the Siskiyou Line was part of the SP main between San Francisco and Portland.) CORP began life on January 1, 1995 when the"GoTeam" from then-parent company Railtex arrived and took over operation of the Siskiyou and Coos Bay lines from the Southern Pacific. Overnight the tunnel motors were gone from the haulers, relaced by GP-38's and GP-40's. The SD-9's hung around for a bit, but soon those were also gone as more four axle power arrived in Oregon. Larry Tuttle has an excellent web site.
