Pacific Railcar Operators “PRO” is pleased to announce a run on the Wallowa Union Railroad from Elgin, OR to Joseph OR.

Set on is on Friday afternoon, October 3 in Elgin, OR from 2-5 pm.  On Saturday we will run to Joseph, OR.  At Joseph, we will turn our motorcars and return the short distance back to Enterprise, OR and tie down for the night.  Sunday we will return to Elgin, OR and set off.  This excursion is 126-miles round trip. 


Following set on ,there are many lodging options available in LA Grande, OR as well as a nice RV park in Elgin.  Saturday night, we will be spending the night in Enterprise, OR so you will need to bring your overnight luggage with you on your Speeder/Motorcar.  Lodging is not included in the price of the excursion, and lodging reservations must be made on your own.  More information will be available in the run pack.


Elgin, OR to Joseph, OR is one of the largest enclosed circular valleys in the United States, with over a million acres of fertile soil surrounded by snowcapped mountain peaks.  Upon leaving Elgin, we will be riding along the peaceful Grande Ronde River.  Between Elgin and Minam, we are on a roadless section of track as we continue to follow the Grande Ronde River, and then turn up the wild and scenic Wallowa River.  Our journey continues up the Wallowa River, eventually breaking out into some spectacular views of the Wallowa mountains.
