The railroad is fictional. Originally it was someone's model railroad that a friend of mine named Adam, most of him know him as SimulatorTrain, he did a logo for the railroad.

I adopted the logo and the railroad and made it my own thing for Trainz.
My background story for the railroad is this:
Originally starting as a shortline based out of the town of Columbia, with it's mainline following the Hood River, it's many branches spreading out throughout the area, and the narrow gauge line that ran from Columbia to Westwood, the C&HR opened it's doors to operation in 1919. As the years progressed and it's neighboring railroads grew bigger, the C&HR expanded off it's Narrow Gauge lines in the back hills, and focused on more standard gauge operations. The Narrow gauge line was taken out of service in 1932, and torn up and scrapped the in 1934. In 1933 the C&HR purchased an Ex-NYC USRA 0-8-0 and numbered it 205. 205 served as a mainline road switcher, and 205 stayed in service on the C&HR up until 1979. In 1934 the C&HR purchased a USRA 4-8-2, ex-Missouri Pacific and numbered it 702. In 1937 the C&HR purchased a pair of K-11 Pacific's from the NYC and numbered them 662 and 663. In 1958 the C&HR purchased F7's. The original set, numbered 8990 to 8995 were setup for snowfighting. After a month in service, a second set, numbered 8995 to 8999 were freight locomotives. The C&HR was purchased by the B&O and made a Subsidary of the B&O in 1960.
The route I am building is set in fall of 1959, the F7's have had a year and a half of service, and Steam on the C&HR is still a regular thing, and the B&O has not yet purchased the C&HR, but the C&HR has trackage rights on the B&O.
