Tillamook OR Sept 2006
Author: coosbaytoday

Two pictures of the stuff sitting around at Tillamook OR, almost to the coast.
Sept 8, 2006.
Guessing most of these have been moved or cut up?

Todd, Scott indicates that POTB 101, the "moo unit", has been privately purchased and will remain on the coast
in Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad service. I think you're right, the rest have hit the scrapper. Arlen

Last time I was down there was late 2010. The 101 was still around as well as a couple of the SD9's as well as the other GP9. Who knows how long they will remain. I have heard that the 101 will NOT be scraped as it was going to be bought by someone or it was going to end up in the museum in Tillamook. I am sure those passenger cars are still there.

The last engine to be cut up was the 3771. (ex SP) I talked to the owner of the company who scrapped the engines and he did not want the 3771 to be cut up. But he could not find a buyer for it.

The 101 will remain on the property for a while.

Sad they saved the GP when the line was so well known for Cadillacs.

Too bad they didn't keep a SD-9. But I couldn't fit one in the back of my car!
Thanks for looking and the comments.
