City of Prineville Railway & Blue Badge Ceremony
Details
On Wednesday, April 8, 2026, we welcome Matt Wiederholt for an engaging presentation on the City of Prineville Railway (COPR) — a unique and historic part of Central Oregon’s infrastructure.
The COPR is a customer-oriented short line railroad operating between Prineville and Prineville Junction. Established in 1918, it continues to play a vital role in supporting local industries in Crook County and is recognized as the oldest continuously operating municipal short line railroad in the United States.
Join us to learn how this remarkable railway continues to serve the region and contribute to local economic development.
In addition, we will celebrate a special Blue Badge Ceremony recognizing members reaching an important milestone in their Rotary journey.
