The Oregon Coast Steam Adventure will take you on an amazing daylong journey originating in Garibaldi over some tracks that have not seen steam locomotives since the fifties. In doing so, we first chug up the Oregon Coast affording fantastic panoramic views of both Tillamook and Nehalem Bays. Our vintage train then turns inland at Wheeler and snakes through the Nehalem River canyon; track conditions permitting, we will continue on to Salmonberry.
After making a service stop, and photo runby or two, we do it all again in reverse, allowing for different lighting opportunities on the return trip from the confluence of the Salmonberry and Nehalem Rivers to the ocean. No other railroad in North America offers the range of scenery found on the Tillamook Branch Line, and no train in recent years has made it possible to experience it all behind steam power.
A minimum of three photo runbys have been scheduled and more will be added if time permits. Lunch will either be served at Nehalem Bay Winery, picnic-style. You will have the time to enjoy complimentary wine tasting and do some shopping while we are there. Concessions will be available for purchase onboard the train. Limited to less than 100 passengers, we highly recommend making your reservations ASAP. May 17 and Oct 2. $148.00 per person. WWW.RAILSNW.COM or 800-717-0108.
