McCloud River Railroad #25 Centennial Excursion |
|
|
|
Over the weekend of September 20-21, 2025, the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad operated special excursions over the length of their currently active trackage to mark the #25's 100th Birthday. James Hughes was on hand and sent along the following pictures of the trip. Thanks, James! |

The railroad printed special shirts for the event showing a timeline of the #25's life, though the July 1955 retirement date is off by close to half a year.

The #25 passes another part of McCloud history now in Garibaldi, pieces of the famed former Sierra/Rayonier #38.

On one of the days James paid an extra fare to ride in the cab of the #25.
