Coos Bay Rail Link
After more than five years of empty tracks running through Coos Bay and North Bend, freight trains will now return to the bay area.
The Port of Coos Bay says repairs to the tracks have been completed, and now all eyes are on the swing bridge that connects trains from the North Spit, across the bay and into North Bend.
Since being left in ruins by a hedge fund in 2007, companies have had to ship their products via large trucks to the North Spit where it was then loaded on the trains and taken to Eugene. With rail service returning, Coos Bay companies can now pocket those additional shipping costs since they will be recieving front door train service.
