The Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad (OCSR) is a steam-powered heritage railroad, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization^[1], operating in Oregon, primarily between Garibaldi and Rockaway Beach, with additional special trips to Wheeler, Nehalem River and into the Salmonberry River canyon. The railroad travels on tracks that pass along the edge of Tillamook Bay and the Oregon Coast, and through thick forest along the Nehalem River^[2]. The OCSR runs its collection of vintage rail equipment over 47 miles of former Southern Pacific Transportation Company track under a lease from the Port of Tillamook Bay Railroad, an entity distinct from the OCSR. ^[3]^[4]

The railroad currently operates two steam locomotives in regular service. One of these is the Curtiss Lumber Company No. 2^[5], a Heisler locomotive, which is a geared steam locomotive, and the other is the former McCloud Railway No. 25^[6]^[7], a 2-6-2 type made by the American Locomotive Company. Both were used in the early 20th century for logging.

Operating Diesel locomotives include the Great Northern Railway (U.S.) No. 274 EMD F7^[8], the former Port of Tillamook Bay Railroad EMD SD9 No. 6139, and the former Port of Tillamook Bay Railroad EMD GP9, No. 101.

As of 2015, several steam locomotive restoration/reconstruction projects are planned or underway. Among them is the complete restoration of the Deep River No. 7 "Skookum", a 2-4-4-2 Mallet locomotive^[9] ^[10] and the former Sunset Timber No. 1, a 3-truck Heisler locomotive that was moved to Tillamook in 2015. ^[11]^[12]

During 2014 the OCSR has been in a series of legal challenges with the State of Oregon over their attempts to repair storm-damaged track in the Salmonberry River corridor.^[13]^[14] In March, 2015, a decision was reported that exempted the OCSR from the state regulations.^[15]
