The Port of Columbia Board of Commissioners is considering the sale of its 37-mile publicly owned short line rail corridor, currently leased to Columbia Walla Walla Railroad (CWW), a subsidiary of Columbia Rail. Originally gifted to the Port by Union Pacific in 1996, the line supports local agriculture, economic development, and freight transportation. CWW, which has operated the line since 2016, has expressed interest in purchasing the rail corridor but has offered significantly less than the appraised value of $13.8 million—proposing $305,000–$705,000 (2–5% of full value).  Click Here for the full Rail Report Document.
