Whether you are a rail fan, a nature and wildlife enthusiast, or a vacationer looking for a unique and relaxed way to see the spectacular beauty of Northeast Oregon, a ride on the Eagle Cap Excursion Train is sure to please!
The Eagle Cap Excursion Train is a scenic train that operates on a 63 mile long railroad, linking the communities of Elgin, Wallowa, Enterprise and Joseph in Northeast Oregon. Along the way, the track passes through spectacular roadless areas as it follows the Grande Ronde River down stream to its coonfluence with the Wallowa River. It then turns up the magnificent Wild & Scenic Wallowa River for a few miles. The track, historically known as the Joseph Branch, is owned by the governments of Wallowa and Union Counties and operated by the Wallowa Union Railroad Authority, which also operates rail freight service on the track.
The Eagle Cap Train excursions are staffed by the professional train crew of the Wallowa Union Railroad and volunteers from an organization called the Friends of the Joseph Branch.
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 train boarding site in Elgin, Oregon is located at 300 N. 8th Street.
