Back in Boise Cascade days, it supplied multiple paper mills in the greater Portland area. Best regards, Rob L.

Served twice a week by night time local out of Avon yard, crew comes out of St Helens five days a week to Avon. Uses one GeeP usually. Crosses only swing bridge still active at Clatskanie.
