Western Railroad Discussion > West Isle line Railroad Operations?Date: 04/25/17 18:32 West Isle line Railroad Operations? Author: M5R24 Hi everyone! Anyone up to date with the operations of the WIR located in the Central Valley, just north of Bakersfield? I had heard they ran one day a week, but not sure of the day.

For ops, we were told that they normally run on Wednesdays but the day we saw them was Friday morning. They generally start in Alpaugh and head out to the BNSF main. Following this, they take their cut of cars into Alpaugh to switch the Crop Protection Services plant there. Good luck!
