The Industrial branch is a location in Trains Northwest. It is an industrial side track that serves a local industry. It is based on a real industrial branch line in Beaverton Oregon.
Description[]
The Industrial branch line branches off from the westside main line just south of the Beaverton station spur line. A wye track connects the branch line with the main line. The actually branch line is a short single track spur that passes thru several businesses before ending at the industry warehouse, where the track goes inside the building. A single grade crossing is near the beginning of the line.
Portrayal In The Show[]
The industrial branch is an occasional destination for engines running on the Westside main line. Most often, the smaller 4 axle freight engines serve the line to pick up or prod off cars at the warehouse.
