A newer, clean three story motel across US 99 from the Central Oregon & Pacific RR tracks. All west facing rooms will have views of the tracks (1st and 2nd floor are best). CORP currently runs a southbound train out of Medford over the old SP Siskiyou Line around 10pm, returning north back to Medford around 7:30am. The main train is usually impressive because it is not uncommon to have five to seven locomotives on the front. CORP now uses three ex-Southern Pacific SD40-T2's on this train in addition to ex-Canadian Pacific & Soo Line power. CORP also adds is GP38's as needed. Some local switcher movements as needed on the line during daylight hours.
