Wallowa Union Scenic Railway

Mother’s Day Brunch Train, Sunday, May 13!

Sit back, relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of a train ride on the Wallowa Union Scenic Railway. Journey back in time on the picturesque 63 mile track that links the communities of Elgin, Wallowa, Enterprise, and Joseph in Northeast Oregon. Discover untamed territory as the train follows the Grande Ronde River downstream through rugged cliffs and timbered ridges, then turns up the Wild & Scenic Wallowa River and crosses the beautiful Wallowa Valley to the base of the towering Wallowa Mountains and Wallowa Lake.

New in 2012! The Blue Goose, a 1915 Baldwin steam engine with a Hollywood movie history, headlines new Blue Goose Steam Excursions, departing from Elgin and Joseph. The train will also add open-air cars and a caboose. Charters are available and cars can be reserved for groups.

The train boarding site in Elgin, Oregon is located at 300 N. 8th Street and is easy to see from Oregon Highway 82, the Wallowa Lake Highway. Elgin’s new train depot is scheduled to be completed and in service summer of 2012.

Find out more of the background and development of the train by exploring the pages under the “About” menu links, and plan your excursion by visiting the pages under the “All Aboard” menu links. And don’t miss the video and photos!

The railroad is owned by the governments of Wallowa and Union Counties and operated by Sierra Nevada & Pacific Rail, which also operates rail freight service on the track. Excursions are staffed by a professional train crew and hosted by volunteers from a non-profit organization called the Friends of the Joseph Branch.
