• The Portland and Western was founded in 1995 taking over former Southern Pacific branch lines in Oregon. It operates a combined 516 miles of track throughout the state and is part of the large Genesee & Wyoming Railroad group. The PNWR also has a subsidiary, the Willamette and Pacific. The WPRR motive power can be seen on PNWR trains as they were used anywhere on the system as needed. Major transported commodities pertain to the lumber industry, but also include many other goods. They operate many older EMD locomotives, some dating back to the 1950s! The ex-Santa Fe GP39-2’s become a favorite on the railroad, with a few still painted in Santa Fe colors.
