The Port of Tillamook Bay Railroad (POTB) is a shortline railroad in northwestern Oregon in the United States.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.potb.org/industrialpark/railroad.html )〕 Purchased from the Southern Pacific Transportation Company in 1990 by the Port of Tillamook Bay, the railroad was used to transport lumber and agricultural products over the Northern Oregon Coast Range between the Oregon Coast and the Portland area until heavily damaged in a 2007 storm.〔 The Port of Tillamook Bay began operating the unincorporated railroad on March 27, 1986,〔 but the tracks were originally constructed by Oregon judge George R. Bagley and others in 1906. The railroad's main line is between Hillsboro and Tillamook.〔 ==History== The predecessor to the Port of Tillamook Bay Railroad was a line built by the Pacific Railway and Navigation Company between 1906 and 1911.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Port of Tillamook Bay Railroad )〕 The line, whose reporting mark was "PR&N", was sometimes known as the "Punk, Rotten, and Nasty" because of the wet and muddy working conditions for crews building the railroad through the Coast Range.〔 The line became the Tillamook Branch Line of the Southern Pacific Railroad in 1916.〔
