Western Railroad Discussion > New power for the Coos Bay?Date: 01/08/19 19:15 New power for the Coos Bay? Author: CBRL Yesterday I heard the Coos Bay train was headed out of Eugene and thought I would catch it and shoot those three funky switchers pulling the train, and what did I see but two AERC B40-8 locomotives on the job! Since I was too lazy to head north and see them on their home track they figured they had to come to me.
