Columbia-Walla Walla Railway Overview

The Port of Columbia assumed ownership of the rail line between Dayton and Walla Walla in 1996. The line was donated to the Port by Union Pacific, and Columbia Rail now operates the short line Columbia Walla Walla Railroad on this section of line through a lease agreement with the Port of Columbia. The section owned by the Port of Columbia is part of a 67 mile stretch of rail from Dayton to Wallula. The Walla Walla to Wallula portion is still owned by Union Pacific, but is also operated by Columbia Rail. Watco previously operated the line as the Palouse River & Coulee City Railroad until 2019.

Columbia Walla Walla Railroad operates freight service from a connection with UP at Zanger Jct. to Walla Walla, WA (27 miles). A branch runs from Dayton, WA through Walla Walla to Weston, OR. A total of 83 miles are operated.

CWW interchanges with UP in Wallula, WA.
