Encore

            Not long after it began operations, Willamette & Pacific had a really nasty derailment near Toledo, Oregon. The three axle trucks on the leased SD9s pulling the train were considered to be a contributing factor in the wreck. Until WPRR could get its ex-ATSF GP39-2s on the property, it used a borrowed set of Southern Pacific GP40s and slugs on its Toledo Hauler. 

For about six weeks, we got to see a nice encore of the final SP years on the branch, with second generation EMD power and slugs toting tonnage over the Coast Range. Here, the leased power is starting the western climb into the foothills with WPRR Train 75.
