The Portland Vancouver Junction Railroad operates from an interchange at RYE JCT WA with BNSF to Brush Prairie Washington. The railroad owns the track all the way to Chelatchie WA , 33 miles, but only operates about the first 15 miles of the Right of Way. Usually, the railroad uses SW1200 number 211. SW1200 #211 is a former Missouri Pacific However, they also have an SD40-2 to take heavier trains from Rye Jct to Rye when needed.

Close at hand is the famed Columbia River Gorge. And less than 100 miles away is the Mount Saint Helens National Volcanic Monument.
