Wholly Toledo

Rolling along on a sunny winter afternoon, Southern Pacific's Toledo Hauler passes the Harris covered bridge west of Corvallis, Oregon. Darkness will have fallen by the time this train crosses the Coast Range.

 

In 1993, the massive Georgia Pacific Toledo pulp mill at the end of the branch rated a daily train from Eugene. The long shadows are prophetic. In just a couple of weeks, this line was leased to the Willamette & Pacific.
