While most of the traffic BNSF handles on the line today is run-through traffic, the City of Prineville Railway and other on-line shippers in the area north of Bend provides enough traffic to keep a local freight based out of Bend busy. These photos document recent activities of the Bend local. |

 In April 2026 Luke Noltensmeyer caught the northbound local crossing the Willow Creek bridge. The train included a number of lumber loads destined for the Bright Wood plant in Madras. |
