Oregon Coast Historical Railway, nestled in Coos Bay, Oregon, serves as a beacon for preserving the rich history of the region through the restoration and exhibition of vintage railroad and logging equipment. Located at 766 South First St., the museum and display area offer a glimpse into the past, showcasing meticulously restored pieces that once played vital roles in the local industry.
One of the prized possessions is the Baldwin steam locomotive No. 104, a centenarian marvel that served the Coos Bay Logging Co. with distinction. Additionally, visitors can marvel at the 1949 Alco S-2 diesel switcher engine and a collection of cabooses, each with its own story to tell. The diverse array of artifacts, ranging from locomotives to memorabilia, is a testament to the dedication of members and volunteers in preserving this historical legacy.
As a community-driven initiative, Oregon Coast Historical Railway welcomes support from various organizations and individuals to continue its mission of safeguarding and interpreting this significant aspect of the region’s heritage. With a focus on fostering community engagement and appreciation for local history, the railway invites enthusiasts to join in its efforts, whether through active participation, donations, or simply spreading awareness of its endeavors.
