The railroad of Des Chutes Railroad Company, hereinafter called the Des Chutes Railroad, leased to and operated by the Oregon-Washington, is a single-track line located in the north central part of Oregon. The line is in two parts and extends from Sherman to North Junction, 71.266 miles, and from South Junction to Metolius, 23.994 miles, making an aggregate of 95.260 miles. The railroad of the Des Chutes Railroad parallels Oregon Trunk Railway between the above points and the Oregon-Washington has trackage rights over Oregon Trunk Railway between North Junction and South Junction and between Metolius and Bend so that it is able to operate over one continuous line of railroad between Sherman and Bend. The Des Chutes Railroad owns yard and sidetracks as shown in the trackage table in appendix 1.

The Des Chutes Railroad was incorporated February 2, 1906, under the general laws of Oregon. The only predecessor of the Des Chutes Railroad was Southern Extensions Railway Company, which was incorporated August 6, 1906. The property of this company was sold to the Des Chutes Railroad, the deed not being executed until subsequently to date of valuation.
