Chehalis–Centralia Railroad

The Chehalis–Centralia Railroad (reporting mark CHTX), also known as the Chehalis-Centralia Railroad & Museum, is a heritage railroad based in Chehalis, Washington. The Cowlitz, Chehalis and Cascade Railway 15, a 2-8-2 "Mikado" type steam locomotive built by Baldwin in 1916, travels over a 10-mile section of former Milwaukee Road track. The rail course winds through scenic hills, farmland, and over several wooden trestles above the Chehalis River, along with various tributary streams including the Newaukum River. Operations, overseen by the Chehalis-Centralia Railroad Museum, were suspended indefinitely in 2022 due to insurance issues but were resumed a year later under agreement with Goose Lake Railway.
