Columbia Cascade Railway -Port Angeles |
|
| Port Angeles is serviced exclusively by the Port Angeles Terminal Railway, owned by the city of Port Angeles. They run a pair of old but well maintained SW7's that are still dressed in the old Northern Pacific Black and yellow. This is heavy traffic area, especially thru the summer and into the fall due to the heavy export of grain. There are several other industries here also that create a lot of work for the two switcher crews. They interchange with the BN, Milwaukee, CP, & UP. | |
| The Port Angeles Terminal Railway commonly called the PATR has a small yard that is used for the interchange. They also use a smaller yard in East Angeles and on heavy days, just about anywhere they can stash a car or two till they can clear the yard. The city knows the yard is not large enough, but unfortunately, there is not real estate available to expand. |
