Moonlight Excursion on the Oregon Coast Scenic Railroad
We took a quick trip to the Oregon Coast to ride the OCSR on a unique moonlight excursion. With only a handful of dates available, we chose the one when the moon would be closest to full. The ride was longer than the general trip from Garibaldi to Rockaway, stretching past Rockaway to Wheeler. It provided new views and a gorgeous sunset view that made the trip. The ride was pleasant, but things got boring after the sunset. The moon was hidden along the horizon by thick clouds over the ocean, so the only view was inside the train cabin. Still a fun trip, and I would certainly recommend it to others.
