Coos Bay Rail Link Overview
The Coos Bay Rail Line spans 134 miles from Coquille, Oregon to Eugene, Oregon. This rail line provides connections to the North American rail network for manufacturing operations in Coos, Douglas, and Lane Counties, and for marine terminals in the Coos Bay harbor. The railroad is owned and operated by the Port of Coos Bay.
the railroad was created after Central Oregon and Pacific Railroad elected to shut down most of the Coos Bay branch in 2007. In 2008, the Surface Transportation Board ordered CORP to sell part of the branch to the Port of Coos Bay for $16.6 million. The Port completed the purchase of the line in 2009 and repaired the tunnels that led to the line's closure. The Port reopened the line as Coos Bay Rail Link. Service from Eugene to North Bend (111 miles) began in October 2011. The first locomotive to arrive in North Bend/Coos Bay in five years did so on October 12, 2012. On April 29, 2013, the railroad ran its first freight train out of Coquille, pulling the first rail cars of plywood from the Roseburg Forest Products mill in Coquille in five and a half years. This run marked the restoration of service in the entire CBR line.
After a dispute with the port over operation agreements, the port took over operations from ARG Transportation's Coos Bay Rail Link on November 01, 2018. The Port created a renamed railroad subsidiary, Coos Bay Rail Line.
CBRL interchanges with UP, PNWR, and CORP in Eugene.
