On May 7, 2023, we were in Garibaldi, Oregon to catch the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad run Great Northern F7 274 up to Rockaway Beach. The OCSR is a unique heritage railroading museum in that it not only has static displays of engines and historic artifacts but also provides interpreted train rides along the coast. OCSR tells the story of the area, gives information about the wildlife, and stresses the importance of practicing environmental conservation so that others may continue to enjoy the beautiful North Coast of Oregon.
The railroad currently operates two steam locomotives in regular service. One of these is the former McCloud Railway No. 25, a 2-6-2 type made by the American Locomotive Company. It was originally used in the early 20th century for logging.
Another is a two truck Heisler, No. 3, built in 1917. OCSR 3, another Heisler, is undergoing maintenance.
From their website the railroad states, “OCSR commits itself to the education, preservation, and restoration of the logging history of the Pacific Northwest in a time when rare logging equipment is frequently lost forever. This organization collects those pieces and provides the necessary repairs and expert knowledge to get the pieces running again and back in service for all to enjoy.”
