Did you or someone in your family live or work along the rail line between Banks and Tillamook? Did you explore the canyons, forests, or small towns that shaped life along this route? As we work to build the Salmonberry Trail—from Banks to the Oregon Coast—we want to collect and preserve the stories of those who knew this corridor when it was still a working railroad, or simply part of everyday life. We also want to hear from folks who are excited about what the trail will bring—new ways to connect, explore, and experience this incredible landscape. Whether you have memories of fishing, farming, riding the train, or hopes for what's to come, we'd love to hear your story. Nothing is too small.
