Western Railroad Discussion > Toledo haulerDate: 05/19/22 08:39 Toledo hauler Author: pummer Can someone please provide the current days of operation for the Portland & Western’s Toledo hauler? I may be in the Albany, Oregon area on Friday or Saturday. Thanks

Eastbound runs (back to Albany) are Tu-Fr. It typically rolls through Philomath between 12:30-2:00 pm, but not always. Sometimes they set out at Ashahr (between Corvallis and Albany), but not always. wyatt Date: 05/19/22 09:12 Re: Toledo hauler Author: pummer Thanks. I didn’t know if they ran eastbound on Saturdays

Robert Why, yes, I did mean Tu-Sat! Thanks for catching that. It's what I was thinking, just not what I wrote! wyatt Date: 05/19/22 09:34 Re: Toledo hauler Author: wye-it ...and the weather-guessers are promising to bless you with sunny skies! Those have been rare in these parts for a while.
Consider also: the Westsider. The sky is getting light early enough now that the departure from Albany for the return trip to McMinnville sometimes occurs in daylight! Most times (that I’ve seen it) the 3369 (SD-40) is on the point. wyatt Date: 05/19/22 13:31 Re: Toledo hauler Author: wye-it Toledo Crawler rolling down the hill into west Philomath right now: 1:30pm
wyatt Date: 05/19/22 13:51 Re: Toledo hauler Author: icancmp193 I was recently told (by a Toledo resident) that the"Patch" leaves Toledo by 7 AM Tue- Sat and is over the summit around noon, which jives with the 1:30 appearance in Philomath.
TJY: Date: 05/19/22 14:15 Re: Toledo hauler Author: wye-it …the "Patch" leaves Toledo by 7 AM Tue- Sat
Usually true, but about half the times I’ve tried to chase it; it departed at 6am! wyatt Date: 05/19/22 22:00 Re: Toledo hauler Author: roustabout The eastbound train, called the Toledo Patch, is often at Summit by 11 am. We saw it today aat Blodgett at 11:15 with only 12 empty chip cars. At 2:15, it was making its way through Corvallis.
Date: 05/20/22 06:50 Re: Toledo hauler Author: Gothic__Albany I think I heard the Westsider leave Albany at 4:45 this morning.

Generally anywhere between 4am and 7am. wyatt Date: 05/20/22 13:52 Re: Toledo hauler Author: wye-it Toledo Crawler rolling through Philomath now (1:52 pm).
wyatt Date: 05/20/22 20:54 Re: Toledo hauler Author: pummer Friday's (May 20) Toledo Hauler departed Toledo shortly after 8am with six units and 34 cars. Crested the hill at Summit @ 11:46. Thanks to all who provided info.
 Date: 05/20/22 21:01 Re: Toledo hauler Author: Railbaron What is the speed limit on the line?
Date: 05/21/22 10:11 Re: Toledo hauler Author: pummer My 20+-year old timetable says 10-20 mph west of Philomath, but it seemed they rarely exceeded 10mph.
