Tillamook Bay Railroad

[CattyPatty]

Well I have started work on another route this time a dem from checkrail.com called port of tilamook bay railroad. I do not know if this is a real railroad but Im making up my own. As always my route is using a DEM but the senery will not follow any prototypical maps or images. More shots to come soon.

TBRR SD45 3600

I do not know if this is a real railroad

Actually, it was, but there was a storm in 2007 (pretty sure it was '07), and they haven't repaired the washed-out trackage to my knowledge. Here's the wiki page about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_of_Tillamook_Bay_Railroad

Also, Madtrainz already had made a route using that very DEM a while ago. See this thread: http://forums.auran.com/trainz/show...-OF-TILLAMOOK-BAY-RR&highlight=Port+Tillomook

Yeah, I think they finally trucked out much of the remaining rolling stock stuck in Tillamook, and scrapped in place a couple of locomotives that were stuck between two washed out sections.....

well I guess Ill be making a very fitional version of the route.

wait, if there was a washout, does the tourist railroad still run? It seems like they leased McCloud River 2-6-2 No. 25 a while back (they've got a 2-truck Hiesler from memory, and I think traded restoration work on Sierra RR 2-6-2 No. 30 for one of the Niles Canyon Ry's shays)

@sawyer: they still run a short tourist line between Garibaldi and Wheeler (I believe), using either a restored GN F7, or a steam engine (not sure of its origin), depending on which one is being serviced.

@cattypatty: here's some pics of real Port of Tillamook bay locos for you if you're interested: http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=192280 http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=416372 http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=3019328 http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/showPicture.aspx?id=747867 Seen many of these in person, so thought you might be interested in seeing them. I live about 90 minutes from Tillamook by the way :wave:
