Port of Tillamook Bay Railroad in 2005: SD9s, Wigwags, POTB 6139 Cabride, and more!

In this C. Vision YouTube exclusive, we take a trip back in time to May of 2005 to view the Port of Tillamook Bay Railroad operating between Banks and Tillamook, Oregon. The POTB was well known for its fleet of former Burlington Northern and Southern Pacific SD9 locomotives, as well as wig-wag crossing signals and beautiful scenery. Heavy storms damaged and washed out the railroad in many places along the Salmonberry River in December of 2007, ending regular operations on the line. We include coverage from Banks to Tillamook, as well as in-cab footage from POTB SD9 6139 between Batterson and Salmonberry along the Nehalem River. A very special thanks goes out to Jody Moore for the assistance he provided while we were shooting this video. Jody's excellent POTB website was also of great help to us, which can be viewed here: http://www.trainweb.org/potb/
