Wallowa Union Railroad Authority
The Wallowa Union Railroad Authority is a short-line railroad owned by Wallowa County and Union County in the U.S. state of Oregon. It operates freight and tourist trains over a ex-Union Pacific Railroad line from the end of an Idaho Northern and Pacific Railroad branch at Elgin to Joseph, generally paralleling Oregon Route 82.
The Oregon Railroad and Navigation Company, a predecessor of the Union Pacific Railroad (UP), completed a branch from the main line at La Grande through Elgin to Joseph in late 1908.〔Pacific Northwest Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society, (The Oregon-Washington Railroad & Navigation Company (OR&N) And Related Companies ), accessed February 2009〕 The Idaho Northern and Pacific Railroad (INPR) leased (from La Grande to Elgin) and bought (from Elgin to Joseph) the line, among others, from the UP in November 1993.〔Edward A. Lewis, American Shortline Railway Guide, 5th Edition, Kalmbach Publishing, 1996, p. 154〕 The Surface Transportation Board authorized abandonment beyond Elgin in 1997,〔(STB Docket No. AB-433X ), March 12, 1997〕 but this was not consummated, and in 2002 Wallowa County purchased the line, still operated by the INPR.〔(STB Finance Docket No. 34214 ), June 17, 2002〕 The new Wallowa Union Railroad Authority took over ownership from Wallowa County and operations from the INPR in 2003.〔(STB Finance Docket No. 34349 ), November 26, 2003〕〔Railroad Retirement Board, (Employer Status Determination: Wallowa Union Railroad Authority ), June 10, 2003〕
Since 2003, the Eagle Cap Excursion Train has operated on the line.
