The line was constructed in 1938 by the Gilchrist Timber Co. and purchased by the Klamath Northern Railroad Company in July 1940 to serve the Gilchrist Timber sawmill in Gilchrist, Oregon. The railroad name was changed to Klamath Northern Railway Company in the 1950s, which was used until 1991. KNOR also served the Glaineville Box Company sawmill from 1965 to 1977.
