Wyoming Colorado Railroad

Railway and Rail Transit Operators

The Wyoming Colorado Railroad, whose reporting mark was WYCO, was a shortline railroad in the United States that operated three separate divisions, one in Colorado, one in Wyoming and one in Oregon. It belonged to a group of shortline railroads run by The Western Group of Ogden, Utah. Of the original system only the Oregon division survives, and it continues in service under the name Oregon Eastern Railroad, and the Wyoming trackage was abandoned. The Wyoming trackage later figured in a notable property law case: in 2014 the United States Supreme Court ruled in Marvin M. Brandt Revocable Trust v. United States that the right of way beneath abandoned tracks in Wyoming reverted to the owner of the surrounding land.
