Steam Train in Rockaway Beach

Now that I am back living in Oregon, trips to the Oregon Coast are a necessity since we are not living directly on the coast itself.

One of my favorite places on the coast is Rockaway Beach. Rockaway Beach is on the Port of Tillamook Railroad which suspended operations back in 2007 after a storm heavily damaged a portion of the line.

However, there is still a tourist train running from Girahaldi to Rockaway Beach using a steam locomotive from California.

Here is a shot of the train sitting at Rockaway Beach before returning to its point of orgin.
