PRO - Pacific Railcar Operators

City of Prineville Railway

Oct 9-10, 2024 – Prineville, OR

 

The City of Prineville Railway and Pacific Railcar Operators “PRO” invite you to journey on their scenic high dessert railroad from the Prineville Freight Depot to Prineville Junction and return for about 29-miles round trip on well-maintained rail. Two round trips are planned.  This customer oriented short line railroad was formed in 1918 and is the oldest continuously operated municipal short line in the United States.  A port-a-potty has been added due to the distance to the facilities at the Prineville Freight Depot.

The run fee is $80.  A minimum of 20 cars is required.

Set-on will be from 3-7 pm on October 9th and 7-9 am on October 10th.  The set-on area has changed since past excursions and is limited in size. Long tow vehicles (RVs) will have difficulties in the set-on area and will need to use a shorter vehicle to tow the motorcar from the parking location into the set-on/set-off area. Parking will be supervised. 

Dry camping is permitted on the railroad’s property on Wednesday night, October 9th only.  All vehicles must be off railroad property by 11:59 PM October 10th.
