About Us
We seek to create railroad connections throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Why do we want to ride the rail?
Because we care about Oregon.
Rail transportation is the most fuel-efficient way to move freight over land. It protects the environment, improves local economies, and decreases traffic congestion on highways helping make Oregon a safer and cleaner place. The association of American Railroads talks more about how technology fuels freight rail’s commitment to protecting the environment and mitigating climate change.
