The Coos Bay Rail Line is owned and operated by the Port of Coos Bay. The CBRL operates at the U.S. shortline railroad industry standard of 286,000 lbs/143 short tons (weight of car plus commodity weight) per loaded revenue car. The majority of cars currently moving on the rail line weigh 66,000 to 86,000 lbs/33 to 43 short tons, resulting in a carrying capacity of 200,000 to 220,000 lbs/100 to 110 short tons.

Using 200,000 lbs/100 short tons as an average weight of commodity per rail car, the tonnage figures for the years 2011 through year to date 2020 are as follows:

• 2011 - 194 revenue car loads = 19,400 short tons
• 2012 - 2,480 revenue car loads = 248,000 short tons
• 2013 - 4,850 revenue car loads = 485,000 short tons
• 2014 - 7,509 revenue car loads = 750,900 short tons
• 2015 - 7,341 revenue car loads = 734,100 short tons
• 2016 - 7,434 revenue car loads = 743,400 short tons
• 2017 - 7,172 revenue car loads = 717,200 short tons
• 2018 - 6,428 revenue car loads = 642,800 short tons
• 2019 - 4,950 revenue car loads = 495,000 short tons
• 2020 - 5,128 revenue car loads = 512,800 short tons
