The main line extends in an easterly direction from Prineville Junction to Prineville, a distance of 18.340 miles. It also owns 1.755 miles of yard tracks and sidings. Its road thus embraces 20.095 miles of all tracks owned and used.

The carrier is a municipal railway constructed, owned, and operated by the city of Prineville. It is unincorporated.
