Rogue Valley Terminal Railroad. (Used to be / Anciennement WCTU Railway Company )
Reporting marks / Identifications: WCTR.
In 1951, The "White City Corporation" was created to provide rail switching to the tenants of Medford Industrial Park to a local "Southern Pacific" connection in Southern Oregon. In 1954 it became a railroad.
In 1974, it was bought by the "Union Tank Cars Company" and rename "WCTU Railway Company". (Many reference books still describe the abbreviation "WCTR as WCTU Railway Company".
Like many small railroad, it was bought end resold many time until in 2013 it was sold to "RVTR Rail Holdings" and rename "Rogue Valley Terminal Railroad".
According to my old "Official Railway Equipment Register", they own 14 miles of tracks and about 400 cars.
En 1951, le "White City Corporation" est créé pour donner le service de livraison de wagons pour les locataires du " Medford Industrial Park" a un terminal de la "Southern Pacific" dans l'état de L'Oregon du sud. En 1954, elle devient une compagnie de chemin de fer.
En 1974, "l'Union Tank Cars Company" achète et renomme le chemin de fer "WCTU Railway Company" (Plusieurs livres de référence appellent encore l'abréviation ''WCTR'' come le "WCTU Railway Company)".
Comme beaucoup de petites compagnies de chemin de fer, cette compagnie est achetée et revendue plusieurs fois et en 2013 est finalement achetée par le "RVTR Rail Holding" qui la renomme "Rogue Valley Terminal Railroad".
Selon mon vieux "Official Railway Equipment Register", ils possèdent 22.5 Km de voies et environ 400 wagons.
