Sweet Home branch
After switching the Weyerhaeuser’s Santiam Lumber mill at Waterloo south of Lebanon, Oregon, an Albany & Eastern train heads back to Lebanon on the AERC’s Sweet Home branch on September 26, 2016. The train is powered by two GE B40-8s—No. 1807 (ex-Southern Pacific) and No. 1841 (former Cotton Belt) trailing. This branch is a former Oregon Electric line, later operated by BN and sold to AERC by BNSF.
