History
The Columbia Basin Railroad was established in 1986 as part of the Washington Central Railroad Company, which bought 230 miles (370 km) of railway in Central Washington from Burlington Northern.[2] It was the second largest railroad in the state by route-mileage.[3] The company, owned by Eric Temple, also owned the Spirit of Washington Dinner Train operating in King County, Washington.[4] The line was acquired by Jaguar Transport Holdings in August 2025.[5]
