OCSR's GN 274 and POTB 101 ran from Garibaldi, Oregon to Batterson, OR Sunday night June 17, 2012. There were 2 tank cars, 1 side dump full of dirt and trees and 3 Flat cars that needed to be moved back to Garibaldi. Some preliminary brush and tree removal was done by an industrious group with motor cars to make the trip easier, but it was still tough slogging through the wet brush and trees covering the tracks. This is some of the trip. All but one of the cars was able to be moved, strange to think of that long of a time and the air pumped up and the brakes released.
 
Damon, I think the railroad retrieved them for their own use, rather than attempting to ship / truck them out. They all seem handy enough to have around for MOW work and the like.
